“I don’t want to live with anyone. I’ve learned how to live by myself. I have to be alone. To come home tired in the evening and find somebody sitting opposite you, saying, ‘And what are you thinking now, beloved?’ would drive me mad! The way things are, nobody can ever say to me, ‘You’re not going to sit there all evening doing nothing, are you?’ because I am. You don’t know how odd your life is until you open it up to other people.”

~ Quentin Crisp
