More quotes by Quentin Crisp
Mass-murderers are simply people who have had ENOUGH.
Quentin Crisp
I've never not been famous.
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

Quentin Crisp

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

Quentin Crisp
Masturbation is not only an expression of self-regard: it is also the natural emotional outlet of those who...have already accepted as inevitable the wide gulf between their real futures and the expectations of their fantasies.
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
Michelangelo worked from within. He described not the excitements of touching or seeing a man but the excitement of being Man.
Quentin Crisp
If you live in America, you don't have to work. You can just drift along in the smiling and nodding racket.
Quentin Crisp
This woman did not fly to extremes she lived there.
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
For an introvert his environment is himself and can never be subject to startling or unforeseen change.
Quentin Crisp
