“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.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
“The good critic is he who relates the adventures of his soul among masterpieces.”
—Anatole France (1844–1924)
