1 " A man's sexual aim, he had often said to himself, is to convert a creature who is cool, dry, calm, articulate, independent, purposeful into a creature that is the opposite of these; to demonstrate to an animal which is pretending not to be an animal that it is an animal. "

― Kingsley Amis , One Fat Englishman

2 " He was of the faith chiefly in the sense that the church he currently did not attend was Catholic. "

3 " {Rogers} sexual aim is “to convert a creature who is cool, dry, calm, articulate, independent, purposeful into a creature who is the opposite of these: to demonstrate to an animal which is pretending not to be an animal that it is an animal. "

― Kingsley Amis , One Fat Englishman

4 " For a man as keen as he on getting into bed with women, keeping hidden the full enormity of his fatness was a chronic problem. Its most acute form naturally came up when someone new had to be hustled or cajoled past the point of no return. That point tended to get later and later as his belly waxed. "

― Kingsley Amis , One Fat Englishman

5 " To be sure about nonsense he had to be able to classify it, assign it to a family tree of liberal nonsense, humanist-humanitarian nonsense, academic nonsense, Protestant nonsense, Freudian nonsense and so on. "

6 " Кингсли Еймис е един от големите майстори на хумористична проза и никоя друга тема не му е по-любима от тази за изкуството и практиката на редовното пиене. Тук са събрани три негови творби, посветени на алкохола: За пиенето, Всекидневното пиене и Как ви е чашата ? Наред с добре изпитани рецепти ( включително за един коктейл, наречен " Щастливецът Джим "), той споделя размишленията си върху махмурлука, диетата на пиещият човек, дава съвети за стиснати домакини и ( вероятно съвсем академично ) обсъжда начинате да пиете, без да се напивате- всичко това освежено със забавни тестове за производството и пиенето на алкохол по света. Еймис смесва завидните си еспертни познания в тази област с някои изключително смешни наблюдения и поднося възхитителен коктейл от английски хумор и дестилирана информация. "
