For those who admired him for his Intellect, Humanity and Courage.
 Dedicated to the memory of
Quentin Crisp
"The message that 'love' will solve all of our problems is repeated incessantly in contemporary culture - like a philosophical tom tom. It would be closer to the truth to say that love is a contagious and virulent disease which leaves a victim in a state of near imbecility, paralysis, profound melancholia and sometimes culminates in death."
- Quentin Crisp
