Quentin Crisp
The poverty from which I have suffered could be diagnosed as 'Soho' poverty. It comes from having the airs and graces of a genius and no talent.
Quentin Crisp
Sex is the last refuge of the miserable.
Quentin Crisp
I can't remember ever having a tragic demeanor. Although my life was tragedy.
Quentin Crisp
Vice is its own reward.
Quentin Crisp
In Manhattan, when you're out of the front door, you're on, and you have to be ready to smile and speak to people.
Quentin Crisp

Quentin Crisp
