How To Have A LifeStyle

Published : 1981

Author : Quentin Crisp

This book is an invitation to a marvelous party where the talk scintillates, the anecdotes unfailingly amuse, the glamorous guests stay late, and the genial host is a true wit who dispenses aphoristic one-liners with the aplomb of a latter-day Oscar Wilde. Of himself, Quentin Crisp writes: "If I have any talent at all, it is not for doing but for being." It is simple: be yourself and let the debris fall where it will.
Are you an atheist?
"If God is the universe which encloses the universe, or if God is the cell inside the cell. or if God is the cause behind the cause - that I can beleive - I can not believe in a God susceptible to prayer - that's a lot of rubbish."
- Quentin Crisp
