Ralph quotes lord of the flies

We’ve got to have rules and obey them. After all, we’re not savages.

Maybe there is a beast…maybe it’s only us.

Fear can’t hurt you any more than a dream.

The thing is – fear can’t hurt you any more than a dream.

We’ve got to make smoke up there – or die.

I mustn’t let them down… I mustn’t.

I’m frightened. Of us. I want to go home. Oh God, I want to go home.

All this I meant to say: you’re a beast and a swine and a bloody, bloody thief!

I was chief, and you were going to do what I said.

We saw your smoke. And you don’t smell of nice things.

I’m frightened. Of us. I want to go home. Oh God, I want to go home.

The world, that understandable and lawful world, was slipping away.

I should have thought that a pack of British boys… would have been able to put up a better show than that.

We’ve got to have rules and obey them. After all, we’re not savages.

The world, that understandable and lawful world, was slipping away.

I mean—and look at me! Ralph, look!

Which is better—to be a pack of painted Indians like you are, or to be sensible like Ralph is?

This head is for the beast. It’s a gift.

Perhaps the beast is inside us.

Here, invisible yet strong, was the taboo of the old life.

It was furry. There was something moving behind its head—wings. The beast moved too—

It was furry. There was something moving behind its head—wings. The beast moved too—

What are we? Humans? Or animals? Or savages?

A fire! Make a fire!

I’m scared of him, and that’s why I know him. If you’re scared of someone you hate him but you can’t stop thinking about him. You kid yourself he’s all right really, an’ then when you see him again; it’s like asthma an’ you can’t breathe.

We’ve got to do something. Something’s got to happen. And then what?

We used his specs, he helped.

You could see now that he might make a boxer, as far as width and heaviness of shoulder went, but there was a mildness about his mouth and eyes that proclaimed no devil.

Maybe there is a beast… maybe it’s only us.

We did everything adults would do. What went wrong?

There aren’t any grown-ups. We shall have to look after ourselves.

What was the sensible thing to do? There was no Piggy to talk sense.

We want to be rescued; and of course we shall be rescued.

I’m frightened. Of us. I want to go home. Oh God, I want to go home.

What are we? Humans? Or animals? Or savages?

The thing is – fear can’t hurt you any more than a dream.

I mustn’t let them down… I mustn’t.

Which is better – to have laws and agree, or to hunt and kill?

What I mean is… maybe it’s only us.

We’ve got to make smoke up there – or die.

Which is better – to be a pack of painted Indians like you are, or to be sensible like Ralph is?

What’s the dirtiest thing there is? What I mean is… maybe it’s only us.

We’ve got to make a fire. We’ve got to be rescued.

We’ve got to have rules and obey them. After all, we’re not savages.

We must make a fire.

I’m frightened. Of us. I want to go home. Oh God, I want to go home.

All this I meant to say. Now I’ve said it. You voted me for chief. Now you do what I say.

What I mean is—maybe it’s only us.

Which is better, law and rescue,or hunting and breaking things up?

If you don’t get home soon we shall be, too.
