Lord of the Flies

What are some quotes that represent savagery and the "beast" in The Lord of the Flies?

I need at least 3 quotes. So far I have been able to find one on page 75: "There was lashings of blood, said Jack, laughing and shuddering, you should have seen it!"

Thanks in advance.

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

Piggy says this to Ralph during one of their assemblies. He is frustrated because the boys can't keep a signal fire going.

“Bollocks to the rules! We’re strong – we hunt! If there’s a beast, we’ll hunt it down! We’ll close in and beat and beat and beat - !”

Jack shouts this to Piggy,. Jack wants there to be a beast so people are afraid and he can offer protection.
