| William Golding
An orotundity, which I define as Nobelitis a pomposity in which one is treated as representative of more than oneself by someone conscious of representing more than himself. Childhood is a disease - a sickness that you grow out of.Language fits over experience like a straight-jacket. Sleep is when all the unsorted stuff comes flying out as from a dustbin upset in a high wind. The journey of life is like a man riding a bicycle. We know he got on the bicycle and started to move. We know that at some point he will stop and get off. We know that if he stops moving and does not get off he will fall off. The writer probably knows what he meant when he wrote a book, but he should immediately forget what he meant when he's written it. What a man does defiles him, not what is done by others. |
