Kingsley Amis книга Take a Girl Like You

She shook her head.[…] 'What they do is their nature,' she said.
Patrick Standish and Jenny Bunn in Ch. 27
Take a Girl Like You (1960)

“I was a shit when I met you. I still am in lots of ways. But because of you I've had to give up trying to be a dedicated, full-time shit. I couldn't make it, hadn't the strength of character. Which is a pity in a way, because when you fall back into the ranks of the failed shits or amateur shits or incidental shits you start taking on responsibility for other people.”
