More quotes by 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
In fact I try to spend at least one, if not two days without ever leaving my room. Because if I didn't, when would I recharge my batteries?
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
Never sweep. After four years the dirt gets no worse.
Quentin Crisp

I came first to America in 1977 at the invitation of a man who wanted to make my life story into a musical. But my agent said it was not to be and it was never done. So I went back, but I'd seen New York, and I wanted to live there. Because everybody talks to you in the street. See, nobody talks to you in England.
Quentin Crisp
Politics are not an instrument for effecting social change they are the art of making the inevitable appear to be a matter of wise human choice.
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
Health consists of having the same diseases as one's neighbors.
Quentin Crisp
All America is much the same.
Quentin Crisp
England is very dreary, but I'm a people person.
Quentin Crisp
However low a man sinks he never reaches the level of the police.
Quentin Crisp
In Manhattan, when you're out of the front door, you're on, and you have to be ready to smile and speak to people.
Quentin Crisp
Men get laid, but women get screwed.
Quentin Crisp
The Scots are very hospitable almost as hospitable as the Americans.
