Famous quotes containing the word genet:
“Excluded by my birth and tastes from the social order, I was not aware of its 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.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
“Would Hamlet have felt the delicious fascination of suicide if he hadn’t had an audience, and lines to speak?”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
“Perhaps having built a barricade when you’re sixteen provides you with a sort of safety rail.

—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
