The ... problem that confronts homosexuals is that they set out to win the love of a real man. If they succeed, they fail. A man who goes with other men is not what they would call a real man. The conundrum is incapable of resolution, but that does not make homosexuals give it up.
Quentin Crisp

Quentin Crisp
Vice is its own reward.
Quentin Crisp
You can't be a person and a lady. If you're a person, you can open the damned door yourself.
