Quentin Crisp Sting

An Englishman in New York

If, “Manners maketh man” as someone said
Then he’s the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

Sting wrote An English in New York in honor of Quentin Crisp, the gay writer known for his outlandish dress and witty quotes. Yet, without knowing the background, you can apply Sting’s sentiment to any way of being which is against the tide. Sting is one songwrier who can write the stunning sentence.
