I'd recommend remembering at least three quotes for each character, and make sure you can say a lot about that quote. For Lord of the Flies, you could have these quotes:
Jack: "*******s to the rules!", "Painted and garlanded, sat there like an idol", "He was stark naked save for a belt", "awesome stranger"
Ralph: "mildness about his mouth...that proclaimed no devil", "launched himself like a cat", "Things are breaking up. I don't understand why" (could also refer to the British Empire breaking up at the time)
Simon: "He's queer. He's gay", "skinny vivid little boy", "covered with a coat of pearls", "sculptured marble"
Piggy: "fat slug", "Life is scientific", "no time for a grunt", "twitched a bit like a pig, after it has been killed"
Roger: "furtive", "dark boy", "hangman's horror clung to him"
It's also worth remembering quotes for themes in LOTF. For example, the island is personified a lot by Golding.
"black, bat-like shadows" and the island moving "steadily astern" (foreshadows their descent into savagery)

Ok thank you!!

I pick the quotes that I can say a lot about - linking it to context and analysing language and its effects.
