More quotes by Quentin Crisp
This woman did not fly to extremes she lived there.
Quentin Crisp
Sex is the last refuge of the miserable.
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
You will survive if you believe in yourself.
Quentin Crisp
If you describe things as better than they are, you are considered to be a romantic if you describe things as worse than they are, you will be called a realist and if you describe things exactly as they are, you will be thought of as a satirist.
Quentin Crisp
Never get involved with someone who wants to change you
Quentin Crisp
I started to shed the monstrous aesthetic affectation of my youth so as to make room for the monstrous philistine postures of middle age, but it was some years before I was bold enough to decline an invitation to Hamlet on the grounds that I knew who won.
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
To say a thing is natural is to condone it, never to praise it.
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
Never keep up with the Joneses. Drag them down to your level.
Quentin Crisp
Women have decided to be people, which is a great mistake. Women were nicer than people.
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
You don't have to deal with anyone in America. They accept you the way you are.
Quentin Crisp
Even hooligans marry, though they know that marriage is for a little while. It is alimony that is for ever.
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
The law is simply expediency wearing a long white dress.
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
To live in the past is to miss today's opportunities and tomorrow's blessings.
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
