More From Jean Genet

When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.

Tell me again what we're doing here," i said, running a continuous scan of our surroundings. fang popped some cracker jack into his mouth.

Uriah looked better than he did an hour ago--he washed the blood from his mouth, and some of the color returned to his face. i'm struck, suddenly, by how handsome he is-- all his features are proportionate, his eyes dark and lively, his skin bronze-brown. and he has probably always been handsome. only boys who have been handsome from a young age have that arrogance in their smile. not like tobias, who is almost shy when he smiles like he is surprised you bothered to look at him from the first place.
Eye Dark Boys
On a ruinous wall i came upon a poster dating from the previous year and announcing that ‘six handsome bulls’ would be killed in the arena on such and such a date. how forlorn its faded colours looked. where were the handsome bulls and the handsome bull-fighters now? it appeared that even in barcelona there were hardly any bullfights nowadays - for some reason all the best matadors were fascists.

Mmm....she's doomed! you're doomed!! they're all doomed! notice i didn't specify what kind of doom, so no matter what happens, i predicted it. how very wise of me.

Wise Wisdom Age
Some princes, so as to hold securely the state, have disarmed their subjects, others have kept their subject towns distracted by factions...our forefathers, and those who were reckoned wise, were accustomed to say that it was necessary to hold pistoia [an italian city] by factions and pisa by fortress, and with this idea they fostered quarrels in some of their tributary towns so as to keep possession of them the more easily.
