Great quotes from Quentin Crisp!

"Nothing shortens a journey so pleasantly as an account of misfortunes
at which the hearer is permitted to laugh."
"Fashion is what you adopt when you don't know who you are."
"Never keep up with the Joneses. Drag them down to your level."
"Health consists of having the same diseases as one's neighbors."
"Sex is the last refuge of the miserable."
"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."
"Euphemisms are unpleasant truths wearing diplomatic cologne."
"The young always have the same problem - how to rebel and conform at
the same time. They have now solved this by defying their parents and
copying one another."
"The very purpose of existence is to reconcile the glowing opinion we
hold of ourselves with the appalling things that other people think
about us."
