So, I became a prototype of the effeminate man, because I was conspicuously effeminate. But camp is not something I do, it's something I am.
Quentin Crisp
One should always be wary of anyone who promises that their love will last longer than a weekend.
Quentin Crisp
Vice is its own reward. It is virtue which, if it is to be marketed with consumer appeal, must carry Green Shield stamps.
Quentin Crisp
Why get married? For human beings, marriage is such an unnatural state. If you want monogamy, it has been said, you should marry a swan.
Quentin Crisp
However low a man sinks he never reaches the level of the police.
Quentin Crisp
What would you be like if you were the only person in the world? If you want to be truly happy you must be that person.
Quentin Crisp
