Quentin Crisp
I can't remember ever having a tragic demeanor. Although my life was tragedy.
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
Never sweep. After four years the dirt gets no worse.
