  I want to fulfil myself in one of the rarest of destinies. I have only a dim notion
  of what it will be. I want it to have, not a graceful curve slightly bent toward
  evening,  but a hitherto unseen beauty; lovely because of the danger which
  works away at it, overwhelms it, undermines it. Oh let me be only utter beauty!
  I shall go quickly or slowly but I shall dare what must be dared. I shall destroy
  appearances; the casings will burn away and one evening I shall appear there in
  the palm of your hand, quiet and pure, like a glass statuette.

  Jean Genet
