Quote by Quentin Crisp

In an expanding universe, time is on the side of the outcast. Those who once inhabited the suburbs of human contempt find that without changing their address they eventually live in the metropolis.

In an expanding universe, time is on the side of the outcast

Summary

This quote suggests that in a constantly evolving world, those who are marginalized or dismissed initially will ultimately prevail. As the universe expands and progresses, societal attitudes and perspectives also evolve. The individuals who were once relegated to the outskirts of society will eventually find their place in the mainstream. Despite not needing to physically move, their ideas, contributions, and experiences will be recognized and cherished, leading them to occupy a significant position comparable to that of the mainstream population. This quote highlights the idea of progress, inclusivity, and the potential for acceptance and success for those initially marginalized.

If you want to take responsibility for your life, you must choose one of those three options, and you must choose now. Then accept the consequences.

A good poem is a contribution to reality. The world is never the same once a good poem has been added to it. A good poem helps to change the shape of the universe, helps to extend everyone's knowledge of himself and the world around him.
