More quotes by Quentin Crisp
For flavor, instant sex will never supersede the stuff you have to peel and cook.
Quentin Crisp
It's written into the Constitution that you're allowed to pursue happiness. In England it would be considered a frivolous objective.
Quentin Crisp
Whenever we confront an unbridled desire we are surely in the presence of a tragedy-in-the-making.
Quentin Crisp
The formula for achieving a successful relationship is simple: you should treat all disasters as if they were trivialities but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster.
Quentin Crisp
The British do not expect happiness. I had the impression, all the time that I lived there, that they do not want to be happy they want to be right.
Quentin Crisp
The ... problem that confronts homosexuals is that they set out to win the love of a real man. If they succeed, they fail. A man who goes with other men is not what they would call a real man. The conundrum is incapable of resolution, but that does not make homosexuals give it up.
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
The world was very feminine when I was young. And now it's very masculine.
Quentin Crisp
I am the last of Britain's stately homos.
Quentin Crisp
To live in the past is to miss today's opportunities and tomorrow's blessings.
Quentin Crisp
I recommend limiting one's involvement in other people's lives to a pleasantly scant minimum. This may seem too stoical a position in these madly passionate times, but madly passionate people rarely make good on their madly passionate promises.
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
I learned very early in life that I was always going to need people more than they needed me
Quentin Crisp
There are three reasons for becoming a writer: the first is that you need the money the second that you have something to say that you think the world should know the third is that you can't think what to do with the long winter evenings.
Quentin Crisp
Europeans are quarrelsome.
Quentin Crisp
The court was not previously aware of the prisoner's many accomplishments. In view of these, we see fit to impose the death penalty.
Quentin Crisp
Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone - but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding.
Quentin Crisp
You can behave as badly as you like in America. Nobody notices.
Quentin Crisp
You don't have to deal with anyone in America. They accept you the way you are.
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.
Quentin Crisp
