Camp Captain

Famous quotes containing the words camp and/or captain:

    Detachment is the prerogative of an elite; and as the dandy is the nineteenth century’s surrogate for the aristocrat in matters of culture, so Camp is the modern dandyism. Camp is the answer to the problem: how to be a dandy in the age of mass culture.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    John Gilpin was a citizen
    Of credit and renown,
    A train-band captain eke was he
    Of famous London town.
    William Cowper (1731–1800)
