Quentin Crisp
You can behave as badly as you like in America. Nobody notices.
Quentin Crisp
In England, nobody's your friend.
Quentin Crisp
Mass-murderers are simply people who have had ENOUGH.
Quentin Crisp
Exhibitionism is like a drug. Hooked in adolescence I was now taking doses so massive they would have killed a novice.
Quentin Crisp
It may be true that artists adopt a flamboyant appearance, but it's also true that people who look funny get stuck with the arts.
Quentin Crisp
I would never go to a place and live there because the weather was good or the scenery was beautiful or the architecture was wonderful. I would only go because the people are kind, and in America, everybody's your friend and happiness rains down from the sky.
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
Even hooligans marry, though they know that marriage is for a little while. It is alimony that is for ever.

The Americans, of course, are quite dotty with hospitality.
Quentin Crisp
Love is the extra effort we make in our dealings with those whom we do not like and once you understand that, you understand all. This idea that love overtakes you is nonsense. This is but a polite manifestation of sex. To love another you have to undertake some fragment of their destiny.
Quentin Crisp
To lose is not always failure.
Quentin Crisp

Quentin Crisp
The key is never, never work. Nothing is more aging than work. It's not only the strain of getting up in the morning for work, but it's the resentment that settles on your face
Quentin Crisp
I'm too old to make drawings.
Quentin Crisp
Nearly always when actors are approached by the beauticians, they try to avoid the dabs that the beauticians put on their faces. They dodge them.
Quentin Crisp
Women have decided to be people, which is a great mistake. Women were nicer than people.
Quentin Crisp
Our clothes are too much a part of us for most of us ever to be entirely indifferent to their condition: it is as though the fabric were indeed a natural extension of the body, or even of the soul.
Quentin Crisp
Many [hooligans] discover to their shame that they have scruples they have roots and, greatest disadvantage of all, they have hope. The fathers superior of the order do not try to influence their children in Satan they merely shake their heads in sorrow. They know that the apostate must work out his own damnation.
Quentin Crisp
For an introvert his environment is himself and can never be subject to startling or unforeseen change.
Quentin Crisp
