Extractions: HELP CATEGORIES ABOUT THE HELPDESK HOW TO CONTACT US HOW TO ORDER ORDERS PAYMENT OPTIONS PRODUCT INFO PRODUCTS - DVD PRODUCTS - VHS SECURITY SHIPPING TERMS AND CONDITIONS Quentin Crisp Found Dead At 90 Flamboyant writer and gay campaigner Quentin Crisp, author of The Naked Civil Servant , actor in Orlando (he played Queen Elizabeth) and centerpiece in the documentary Resident Alien , died Sunday, police said. He was 90. "There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death," a police spokesman told Reuters. "He's been identified as 90-year-old Quentin Crisp." This self-described 'stately homo of England' spent decades fighting for gay rights while keeping his sense of humour. His sharp tongue let loose with such gems as: "Never keep up with the Joneses, drag them down to your level. It's cheaper." and the fitting, "An autobiography is an obituary in serial form with the last chapter missing."

http://www.goodbyemag.com/jan00/henning.html

Extractions: Doug Henning liked to say that his ambition was to restore a sense of wonder to jaded Americans. Theres little doubt that he did it, even if it was only a sense of wondering why this droopily-mustachioed, diminutive fuzzball was making an elephant disappear instead of toking on a fattie. His goggle-eyed wonderment and gooey narrations were extremely irritating. But what was most interesting about Hennings life was that he eventually rejected the mechanical production of illusion because he came to believe that people could fly for real, if only their minds could be changed. In 1986 Henning, whose annual specials were still garnering high ratings, quit performing. He rejected his craft, which he had come to call fake magic altogether for the real magic of Transcendental Meditation. He sold his best tricks to magician David Copperfield and retreated into silence for a few years. It was a shocking move for the man who had done more to publicize magic than anybody since Harry Houdini. Henning had done the master one better by recreating the famous trick of escaping after being handcuffed in a sack inside a padlocked chest. Houdini did it in 20 seconds. Henning did it in less than 10. Houdini was a famous debunker of mystical frauds. But Henning became one and spent the remainder of his life trying to popularize mystical flying in politics and theme parks. He parlayed The Magic Show into an annual TV spectacular called World of Magic. In his second World of Magic special, in 1976, Henning made an elephant disappear and transformed a beautiful girl into Michael Landon. In an unscripted moment, a Bengal tiger escaped backstage and chased talk show host Tom Snyder into a bathroom.

TPCN - Great Quotations (Quotes) By Quentin Crisp To Inspire And Motivate You To
quentin crisp. Q U O T E S T O I N S P I R E Y O U, Great quotes toinspire, empower and motivate you to live the life of your dreams
http://www.cyber-nation.com/victory/quotations/authors/quotes_crisp_quentin.html

Extractions: Great quotes to inspire, empower and motivate you to live the life of your dreams and become the person you've always wanted to be! T he consuming desire of most human beings is deliberately to plant their whole life in the hands of some other person. I would describe this method of searching for happiness as immature. Development of character consists solely in moving toward self-sufficiency. I f Mr. Vincent Price were to be co-starred with Miss Bette Davis in a story by Mr. Edgar Allan Poe directed by Mr. Roger Corman, it could not fully express the pent-up violence and depravity of a single day in the life of the average family. L ove is the extra effort we make in our dealings with those whom we do not like and once you understand that, you understand all. This idea that love overtakes you is nonsense. This is but a polite manifestation of sex. To love another you have to undertake some fragment of their destiny. I t is not the simple statement of facts that ushers in freedom; it is the constant repetition of them that has this liberating effect. Tolerance is the result not of enlightenment, but of boredom. V ice is its own reward. It is virtue which, if it is to be marketed with consumer appeal, must carry Green Shield stamps.

His first collection, The Nightmare Exhibition, is due very shortly from BJM Press. Q: Your fiction has received a very positive reaction since your arrival on the UK small press scene a couple of years ago. There's a strong Lovecraftian feel to much of your work, yet you also have a great interest in various Eastern authors. Could you tell us which authors have had the biggest influence on your work, and why? A: Q: Your very well-received novella The Psychopomps was first published by Paul Bradshaw. Many readers (including myself) were won over by the potent imagery and unrelenting nightmare quality present throughout the story. I'd be interested to know to what extent this and other stories of yours are influenced by personal nightmares and bizarre dreams.

Extractions: Quentin Crisp Biography BIRTH EDUCATION RELATIONSHIPS QUOTES DEATH Works by Quentin Crisp BOOKS Resident Alien Book An often bitingly amusing account of his love affair with the Big Apple. Based on his diary in The New York Native, this is vintage Crisp: at once witty and profound, tough-minded and compassionate, outrageous and wise. Naked Civil Servant, The Book This autobiography by the world's most professional homosexual is more than entertaining, it's a requirement to be fully queer. Crisp was a hero with pink hair; a frequent personage at gay pride celebrations, he abhored gay pride. How to Become a Virgin Color in Display How to Have a Lifestyle Lettering for Brush and Pen Love Made Easy Chog: A Gothic Tale Doing It with Style Manners from Heaven: a Divine Guide to Good Behavior Wit and Wisdom of Quentin Crisp w/ Guy Kettelhack Book Delightfully caustic, the keenest of British wits delivers a book of short pieces filled with a striking sense of courageous individuality.
