More quotes by 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 will survive if you believe in yourself.
Quentin Crisp
It is explained that all relationships require a little give and take. This is untrue. Any partnership demands that we give and give and give and at the last, as we flop into our graves exhausted, we are told that we didn't give enough.
Quentin Crisp
Our clothes are too much a part of us for most of us ever to be entirely indifferent to their condition: it is as though the fabric were indeed a natural extension of the body, or even of the soul.
Quentin Crisp
One should always be wary of anyone who promises that their love will last longer than a weekend.
Quentin Crisp

Quentin Crisp

Quentin Crisp
Development of character consists solely in moving toward self-sufficiency.
Quentin Crisp
It's been agony but I couldn't have done it any other way.
Quentin Crisp
To say a thing is natural is to condone it, never to praise it.
Quentin Crisp
Never get involved with someone who wants to change you
Quentin Crisp
Fashion is what you adopt when you don't know who you are.
Quentin Crisp
Exhibitionists have no friends, no friends at all.
Quentin Crisp
The consuming desire of most human beings is deliberately to place their entire life in the hands of some other person. For this purpose they frequently choose someone who doesn't even want the beastly thing.
Quentin Crisp
It is true that in America I've become a national hero, but really I was a hopeless case, that was all.
Quentin Crisp
Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone - but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding.
Quentin Crisp
