More quotes by Quentin Crisp
It's been agony but I couldn't have done it any other way.
Quentin Crisp
For an introvert his environment is himself and can never be subject to startling or unforeseen change.
Quentin Crisp
The search for a life-style involves a journey to the interior. This is not altogether a pleasant experience, because you not only have to take stock of what you consider your assets but you also have to take a long look at what your friends call “the trouble with you.” Nevertheless, the journey is worth making.
Quentin Crisp
What better proof of love can there be than money? A ten-shilling note shows incontrovertibly just how mad about you a man is.
Quentin Crisp
Nothing shortens a journey so pleasantly as an account of misfortunes at which the hearer is permitted to laugh.
Quentin Crisp

Quentin Crisp

Quentin Crisp

Quentin Crisp

Quentin Crisp
Ask yourself, if there was to be no blame, and if there was to be no praise, who would I be then?
Quentin Crisp
When asked to give advice, I do of course give it, because I give whatever I am asked to give.
Quentin Crisp
Britain cherishes her eccentrics and wisely holds that the function of government is to build a walled garden in which anarchy can flourish.
Quentin Crisp
The consuming desire of most human beings is deliberately to plant their whole life in the hands of some other person. I would describe this method of searching for happiness as immature. Development of character consists solely in moving toward self-sufficiency.
