I don't think that he is wise. I think the he articulates well - But alluring form does not equal genuine content. He's a playwright - Not a credible philosopher.
The reason this man is SO WISE is because he lived outside the confining, suffocating box of conformity. He was bold and knew exactly what laid beyond the outskirts of the universe, because he was never enslaved within.
He got Valentino dead one. I've always wondered why Valentio's looks bothered me and that's it. He looked more female than male. Maybe that's why he was so popular? He was beautiful as many celebrity men are. They are not just handsome but beautiful. Henry Cavii, Robert Pattinson, those sorts. I'm not saying their gay but don't a lot turn out to be? I wonder if Rudi was? It doesn't matter but it is interesting. What a world to have lived in during those times. Pretty brave.
I,m not gay, but I admire Mr. Crisp. I'm what some would consider an "outsider." I think people get caught up too much on WHY a person is an outsider,is he/she gay, fat, goth, different ethnicity, etc. I think we need to do, as "outsiders" is to be accepting of one another. We all go to the same "church," but just happen to sit in different "pews." Even though I'm not gay, I get where he is coming from. The core of his message is being true to yourself. He is an inspiration for all.
We all could extol the sweet virtues of the sharp Wit however kind Wisdom of the late Quentin Crisp! I love his simple yet deep, whose meaning counts very hard - "I Am In The Profession Of Being!" Quentin Crisp lights up a fire within us all - reminding us to find our own beauty, our own personal Art first so that we may learn & empower ourselves enough to find the beauty, the art of other hearts, of other places...
He's so full of aphorisms and quips that I am surpirsed he hasnt got his own section in the Oxford Book of Quotations. Almost everything I have heard him say is so perceptive and wise. I fear that to attain that kind of wisdom you do have to go through more than is your due, and I certainly think that is the case with Quintin. I wish I was old enough to appreciate him when he was still alive...I might have given him a phone call.
Never let anyone tell him what to be, and was always a little bit eccentric and strange. You can be gay, straight, lesbian or all of the above and even then you can still appreciate the man who was Quentin Crisp. Truly a man who lived his life the way he wanted and let no one stand in his way, and for that i salute him.
I don't know about his "changing the face of earth just by existing" but his books certainly changed the way I view life. He made all the difference. RIP Quentin!
Sounds like ChromeGuiter has some serious pent up sexual issues. Could it be that you have gay thoughts and desires of your own but are afraid to let them out. Just blow the closet door wide open and "Sing Out Louise" you'll feel much better in the morning. Back to Mr. Crisp. He had great insight. His opinions applied to the world in general, not just gays. I have all of his books. I refer to them daily. My favorite is Manners From Heaven. It is full of funny quotes that apply to us all.

He mentioned he lived in the U.S. for 18
years totally on the "kindness of strangers", but in fact it was HE who blessed those strangers with his wit,
wisdom and unforgettable "uniqueness".
The world was better for him being in it.

they really did break the mould...
unique. love him or hate him, simply unique.
and after all he had to put up with, never seemed to have an ounce of hate in him. even for people who abused him and beat him up.
a sort of strength sadly lacking
