Origine: Diario di un ladro, p. 29

“L'essere un trovatello m'è valso una giovinezza e un'infanzia solitarie. L'essere un ladro mi permetteva di credere alla singolarità del mestiere di ladro. Ero, mi dicevo, una mostruosa eccezione. In effetti, il mio gusto e la mia attività di ladro erano in relazione con la mia omosessualità, scaturivano da questa, che già mi teneva in un'insolita solitudine. Grande fu il mio stupore quando m'accorsi sino a che punto fosse diffuso il furto. Ero sprofondato in seno alla banalità. Per uscirne, non mi restò che gloriarmi del mio destino di ladro, e di volerlo.”

Jean Genet

1975; p. 289
