image: Quentin Crisp sitting at a table with his right hand touching his chin.
For those who admired him for his Intellect, Humanity and Courage.
Dedicated to the memory of
Quentin Crisp
"I am concerned with the high gloss on society, not with its inner machinery. I am a freeloader, a dilettante, a butterfly on the wheel."
- Quentin Crisp

The background music is "The female of the species is more deadly than the rest"
