Lord of the Flies by William Golding: Quote (page 70)

"Suddenly, pacing by the water, he was overcome with astonishment. He found himself understanding the wearisomeness of this life, where every path was an improvisation and a considerable part of one's waking life was spent watching one's feet."

      This quote displays how old and mature Ralph has become. Kids don't usually consider life as wearisome. Also, Golding mentions that people spend much of their life watching their feet.I don't think I completely understand this, but it really makes you think. And that's what I really like about this quote.
