🪷 "Reality is only the dream in which our enemies believe," #QuentinCrisp, talking about movies vs. "reality." He added: "Any movie, even the worst, is better than real life." He is a saint of #Antinous! Born 25 December 1908. Died 21 November 1999. 🪷

Happy birthday to Quentin Crisp (Dec 25, 1908).

Writer, wit, and icon of unapologetic queerness, he lived openly when it was dangerous and turned survival into art. Proof that visibility, honesty, and style can be acts of rebellion.

I used to quote #QuentinCrisp as if I were some acerbic, literary wit, “You fall out of your mother’s womb, you crawl across open country under fire, & drop into your grave.” The world’s often unkind, to not let it touch our hearts, to be largely impervious to its slings & arrows, choose joy #trans

Playing Quentin Crisp #gayicon #pride #theatre
From Jeffrey Hartgraves’ fabulous play ‘Carved in Stone’ in LA, 2009.
This gay icon remains my favorite stage role! (I wish we’d had decent cameras in our phones back then!)
Happy Pride Weekend, everybody! #QuentinCrisp #stageactor #queerarts
