Jean Genet Quotes

Perhaps all music, even the newest, is not so much something discovered as something that re-emerges from where it lay buried in the memory, inaudible as a melody cut in a disc of flesh. A composer lets me hear a song that has always been shut up silent Picture Quote #1

We know that their adventures are childish. They themselves are fools. They are ready to kill or be killed over a card game in which an opponent - or they themselves - was cheating. Yet, thanks to such fellows, tragedies are possible Picture Quote #1

Excluded by my birth and tastes from the social order, I was not aware of it's diversity. Nothing in the world was irrelevant: The stars on a general's sleeve, the stock market quotations, the olive harvest, the style of the judiciary, the wheat exchange, flower beds. Nothing. This order, fearful and feared, whose details were all inter related, had a meaning: my exile Picture Quote #1

The force of what was called panther rhetoric or word mongering resided not in elegant discourse but in strength of affirmation (or denial), in anger of tone and timbre. When the anger led to action there was no turgidity or over emphasis. Anyone who has witnessed political rows among the whites will have to admit that the whites aren't overburdened with poetic imagination Picture Quote #1

When the judge calls the criminal's name out he stands up, and they are immediately linked by a strange biology that makes them both opposite and complementary. The one cannot exist without the other. Which is the sun and which is the shadow? It's well known some criminals have been great men Picture Quote #1

... the characters in my books all resemble each other. They live, with minor variations, the same moments, the same perils, and when I speak of them, my language, which is inspired by them, repeats the same poems in the same tone Picture Quote #1

First of all, don’t mix your hairpins up with mine! You... Oh! All right, mix your muck with mine. Mix it! Mix your rags with my tatters! Mix it all up Picture Quote #1

Every premeditated murder is always governed by a preparatory ceremonial and is always followed by a propitiatory ceremonial. The meaning of both eludes the murderer's mind Picture Quote #1

I think Lindsay Kemp really introduced me to the work of Jean Genet, and through that, I kind of kept re-educating myself about other prose writers and poets Picture Quote #1
