Hanif Kureishi Quotes

I Didn't Want To Be Educated. It Wasn't The Right Time Of My Life For Concentration, It Really Wasn't. The Spirit Of The Age Among The People I Knew Manifested Itself As General Drift And Idleness. We Didn't Want Money. What For? We Could Get By, Living Off Parents, Friends Or The State And If We Were Going To Be Bored, And We Were Usually Bored, Rarely Being Self-motivated, We Could At Least Be Bored On Our Own Terms, Lying Smashed On Mattresses In Ruined Houses Rather Than Working In The Machine. I Didn't Want To Work In A Place Where I Couldn't Wear My Fur Coat.
