Quentin Crisp

Quentin Crisp (December 25, 1908 – November 21, 1999) was an English writer, actor, and social commentator, best known for his flamboyant style and open homosexuality during a time of widespread prejudice. Born Denis Charles Pratt in Sutton, London, he later adopted the name Quentin Crisp. His 1968 autobiography, 'The Naked Civil Servant,' chronicled his life as an openly gay man in conservative Britain, and was adapted into a critically acclaimed TV film starring John Hurt. Crisp also wrote 'How to Have a Style' and 'Manners from Heaven,' and appeared in films like 'Orlando' and 'The Bride.' He moved to New York in the 1980s, becoming a cultural icon known for his wit and advocacy of individuality. He died in Manchester at age 90. more

“Creating distrust, division, confusion, and chaos, leading to massive societal dysfunction and collapse, is not a bug in the MAGA plan due to incompetence in personnel picks and policy: it’s a very deliberate design feature, and it will have dire global consequences. And for accelerationists, evangelicals, fundamentalists, and Christian nationalists, it’s all a part of the big plan for the End Times.”

“But it is not just Western youth who will be destroyed due to this madness; it is Western Civilisation that will crumble as a result. What took millennia to build and shape will be broken apart in mere decades. Traditions and cultures that were passed down from generation to generation and have evolved and existed for thousands of years will be forgotten and lost. The rich Western heritage, history and Western way of life will all be washed away within a century of madness.”

“I am not sure who lied to my people that the only time you will get your chance or turn to eat Is only through corruption. The way we support, vote, believe, and cheer for corruption, and corrupt leaders, not only that but we also queue up for our turn to eat. Yet we know that corruption has bad and negative effects on our community, lives, and country. To stop corruption starts with you by stopping believing that you will only benefit and live a good life through corruption, and stopping supporting leaders who are corrupt because you want to benefit.”

“My love is not gentle, or tender, or easy. But it is real, grown from hate and pain deep inside a chest sullied by shadows. It is cutting and biting, leaving behind scars as unfading as my love for you." His warm lips scathed my jawline. "And once we are gone from this earth, I will continue to love you among the stars. I will be the night, the darkest patch of sky around you, just to ensure that everyone can see how you sparkle. And once your light starts fading, I will take you into my black embrace, and that is where I will love you beyond death.”

“People join politics to serve the man instead of serving the country. That is why they are willing to sell their country to please the man. Stomach politics don't care about the damage they cause as long they are taken care off. Members of a member are very toxic. They become spies, liability, incite violence , go rogue, unprovoked liars, manipulators and divisive . They can betray the country and burn it to ashes if it pleases the man. They are not trust worthy.”

“The difference between politicians and us voters . To politicians its all fun and games. Flexing power and chess moves. To us it is our lives and reality. No matter which decision they take. That won’t affect their salary, job, or lifestyle. But every decision they make it affects our lives, jobs, and lifestyle. Until we are all in the same boat and share the same problems with them. They won’t understand our suffering and won’t solve our problems. They will make decisions that doesn’t favor us. They won’t have our best interests at heart.”

“In government or parliament, there are two types of selfish people: those who only want to benefit themselves and those who don't want others to benefit, regardless of whether they benefit or not. Then you have the citizens who voted for these two types to be in parliament. These citizens, whose benefits are shared by these selfish individuals in parliament, end up not benefiting at all.”
