" 'No. You have doctors for everything, even the inside of your mind. You don't really mean that we got to be frightened all the time of nothing? Life [...] is scientific, that's what it is. In a year or two when the war's over they'll be travelling to Mars and back. I know there isn't no beast- not with clawes and all that, I mean - but I know there isn't no fear, either.'
Piggy paused.

Ralph moved restlessly.
'Unless what?'
'Unless we get afraid of people.'
- Piggy and Ralph, Lord of the Flies"
