Quentin Crisp
Even hooligans marry, though they know that marriage is for a little while. It is alimony that is for ever.
Quentin Crisp
When I was young, I wanted to find the Great Dark Man. When I said that I realise now that people thought that by 'dark' I meant black, and that by 'great' I meant big. Whereas I only meant a strong, mysterious person someone who would 'take me away from all this.'
Quentin Crisp
