Yesterday morning I'd barely knew the name #quentincrisp

By 3am I'd watched both John Hurt movies and half of a An Evening with Quentin Crisp.

Before we used the word "canceled" she got herself deservedly canceled in the early 80s for a remark about AIDS being a fad.

Now I think we should bring her back. All Alan Watts quotes in script font on sappy Instagram posts must now be replaced by one of her acerbic observations.

"If you describe things as better than they are, you are considered to be a romantic; if you describe things as worse than they are, you will be called a realist; and if you describe things exactly as they are, you will be thought of as a satirist."
- Quentin Crisp
