More quotes by Quentin Crisp
While I have very little to say in favor of sex (it's vastly overrated, it's frequently unnecessary, and it's messy), it is greatly to be preferred to the interminable torments of romantic agony through which two people tear one another limb from limb while professing altruistic devotion.
Quentin Crisp
England is very dreary, but I'm a people person.
Quentin Crisp
Men get laid, but women get screwed.
Quentin Crisp
No effort is required to define or even attain happiness, but enormous concentration is needed to abandon everything else.
Quentin Crisp

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
When I told the people of Northern Ireland that I was an atheist, a woman in the audience stood up and said, 'Yes, but is it the God of the Catholics or the God of the Protestants in whom you don't believe?'
Quentin Crisp
Exhibitionists have no friends, no friends at all.
Quentin Crisp
Never sweep. After four years the dirt gets no worse.
Quentin Crisp
In England, nobody's your friend.
