"Ask yourself, if there was to be no blame, and if there was to be no praise, who would I be then?"
- Quentin Crisp
- Quentin Crisp
I came across the above line in 'How To Be Miserable' (don't look at me like that, it's a book about highlighting the ways in which people make themselves unhappy in order to avoid them), and it's one of those quotes that left me thinking on it a long time after the book had moved on to other matters. So much about the way we look and act is tied to our experiences and the expectations life has placed upon us, and I've found myself wondering just what sort of person I would be without such pressures.
So I'll pose the question to you motherfuckers.
Who would you be, how would you look and act, if there was to be neither blame nor praise?
