More quotes by Kingsley Amis
Consciousness was upon him before he could get out of the way.
Kingsley Amis
Your attitude measures up to the two requirements of love. You want to go to bed with her and can't, and you don't know her very well. Ignorance of the other person topped up with deprivation, Jim. You fit the formula all right, and what's more you want to go on fitting it.
Kingsley Amis
Now and then I become conscious of having the reputation of being one of the great drinkers, if not one of the great drunks, of our time.
Kingsley Amis
If you are using an adverb, you have got the verb wrong.
Kingsley Amis
Work was like cats were supposed to be: if you disliked and feared it and tried to keep out if its way, it knew at once and sought you out and jumped on your lap and climbed all over you to show how much it loved you. Please God, he thought, don't let me die in harness.
Kingsley Amis

Kingsley Amis

Kingsley Amis

Kingsley Amis
It's a letdown if the comedian doesn't finally actually really sit on his hat.
Kingsley Amis
The first, indeed the only, requirement of a diet is that it should lose you weight without reducing your alcoholic intake by the smallest degree.
Kingsley Amis
Misprize common sense at your peril is my motto.
Kingsley Amis
Death has this much to be said for it: You don't have to get out of bed for it. Wherever you happen to be They bring it to you—free.
Kingsley Amis
The ideal of brotherhood of man, the building of the Just City, is one that cannot be discarded without lifelong feelings of disappointment and loss. But, if we are to live in the real world, discard it we must.
Kingsley Amis
It is no wonder that people are so horrible when they start life as children.
Kingsley Amis
Whatever part drink may play in the writer's life, it must play none in his or her work.
Kingsley Amis
If there's one word that sums up everything that's gone wrong since the war, it's Workshop. After Youth, that is.
Kingsley Amis
Politics is a thing that only the unsophisticated can really go for.
Kingsley Amis
