CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."

I'm not willing just to be tolerated
“Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.”
“Living is a horizontal fall.”
“What the public criticizes in you, cultivate. It is you.”
“We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like?”
“A little too much is just enough for me.”
“I'm not willing just to be tolerated. That wounds my love of love and of liberty.”
“I am a lie that always speaks the truth.”
Jean Maurice Eugène Clément Cocteau (5th July 1889 – 11th October 1963)
