Kingsley Amis was born on April 16, 1922
English novelist, poet, critic and teacher, He created in Lucky Jim, 1954 a comic figure who became a household word in Great Britain in the 1950s. 1922-1995I enjoy talking to you more than anybody else because I never feel I am giving myself away and so can admit to shady, dishonest, crawling, cowardly, unjust, arrogant, snobbish, lecherous, perverted and generally shameful feelings that I don't want anybody else to know about; but most of all because I am always on the verge of violent laughter when talking to you.
If you were here, I keep thinking, we would spend the time in talk and drink and smoke and I should be laughing a lot of the time, and I should be enjoying myself a lot of the time. More quotations from Kingsley Amis |  |
