On prejudice :
"It is not the simple statement of facts that ushers in freedom; it is the constant repetition of them that has this liberating effect. Tolerance is the result not of enlightenment, but of boredom"

Doing It With Style

Published : 1981

Authors : Quentin Crisp and Donald Carroll

Quentin Crisp and Donald Carroll, examine these questions and conclude that "style is not only definable but, more to the point, acquirable." In fact, they say, acquiring it is much less difficult than most people imagine, because to be a person with syle is simply "to be yourself, but on purpose"
