Repudiating the virtues of your world, criminals hopelessly agree to organize a forbidden universe. They agree to live in it. The air there is nauseating. They can breathe it.
Jean GenetWhen 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.

Jean GenetWhen we see life, we call it beautiful. When we see death, we call it ugly. But it is more beautiful still to see oneself living at great speed, right up to the moment of death.
