Quentin Crisp
To say a thing is natural is to condone it, never to praise it.
Quentin Crisp
To lose is not always failure.
Quentin Crisp
The war between the sexes is the only one in which both sides regularly sleep with the enemy.
Quentin Crisp
Sex is the last refuge of the miserable.
Quentin Crisp
You can behave as badly as you like in America. Nobody notices.
Quentin Crisp
All liaisons between homosexuals are conducted as though they were between a chorus girl and a bishop. In some cases both parties think they are bishops.
Quentin Crisp
Nearly always when actors are approached by the beauticians, they try to avoid the dabs that the beauticians put on their faces. They dodge them.
Quentin Crisp
When asked to give advice, I do of course give it, because I give whatever I am asked to give.
