Malcolm bradbury made the point, and i don't know whether it's a valid one or not, that the real english at the moment is not the english spoken in england or in america or even in canada or australia or new zealand. the real english is the english which is a second language, so that it's rather like latin in the days of the roman empire when people had their own languages, but had latin in order to communicate.

More From William Golding

I work in hebrew. hebrew is deeply inspired by other languages. not now, for the last three thousand years, hebrew has been penetrated and fertilized by ancient semitic languages - by aramaic, by greek, by latin, by arabic, by yiddish, by latino, by german, by russian, by english, i could go on and on. it's very much like english. the english language took in many many fertilizations, many many genes, from other languages, from foreign languages - latin, french, nordic languages, german, scandinavian languages. every language has influences and is an influence.

Speaking of love, one problem that recurs more and more frequently these days, in books and plays and movies, is the inability of people to communicate with the people they love: husbands and wives who can't communicate, children who can't communicate with their parents, and so on. and the characters in these books and plays and so on, and in real life, i might add, spend hours bemoaning the fact that they can't communicate. i feel that if a person can't communicate, the very least he can do is to shut up!

Once i spoke about this subject among a group of english intellectuals. one of them was a professor on roman law at one of the leading british universities. i asked him,what was the official language of the byzantine empire? he said, maybe sometime in the sixth or the seventh century.the justinian codex, the rule of law in the byzantine empire which was produced by emperor justinian, it was written in latin.and he looked at me ,he knew that i knew already that the only original copy was found in the beginning of the sixteenth century.

We have gone for decades now with no immigration plan. now we have one. it's a common sense immigration plan that has proven to work. it's the same one in canada, same thing in new zealand and australia. one aspect of the plan is merit-based entry into the country. you get in based on merit. it's a point system. you get in on your ability to speak english, and you get in on your ability to hold a job and work a job and produce an income.

In australia and new zealand, and new zealand especially, i always find everyone is so nice and friendly. it's one of the few places that i remember visually, like i remember where i stayed and my surroundings - and that's a good sign, because i've got a terrible memory. i'm looking forward to it!

It's a pleasure to share one's memories. everything remembered is dear, endearing, touching, precious. at least the past is safe though we didn't know it at the time. we know it now. because it's in the past; because we have survived.

There are sufferings that have lost their memory and do not remember why they are suffering.

The thought of being a creator, of engendering, of shaping is nothing without the continuous great confirmation and embodiment in the world, nothing without the thousandfold assent from things and animals... beautiful and rich only because it is full of inherited memories of the engendering and birthing of millions.

I feel that there are great minds up there who would like to see what i can do with an oscar nomination. i guess many people would change after a nomination in the way they see things. in my case it's really irrelevant in terms of what i do. still, it was an incredible experience which i will put in my memories, like everything else.
