Quentin Crisp
It is explained that all relationships require a little give and take. This is untrue. Any partnership demands that we give and give and give and at the last, as we flop into our graves exhausted, we are told that we didn't give enough.
Quentin Crisp
Is not the whole world a vast house of assignation of which the filing system has been lost?
Quentin Crisp
Manners are love in a cool climate.
Quentin Crisp
What is privacy if not for invading?

Quentin Crisp
