Image
I don't want to say anything because I know I am unable to protect you from the harm that I see.
Camille Claudel
Image
I would prefer to have a more appealing job. If I could still change careers, I would prefer it. This unfortunate art is made for long beards and ugly faces rather than for a relatively well-endowed woman.
Camille Claudel
Image
Send me one hundred francs on our future deals, otherwise I will disappear in a cataclysm.
Camille Claudel
Image
You know what black hatred women feel toward me as soon as they see me, until I return inside my shell, they use every possible weapon. As soon as a generous man tries to help me out, a woman is here to hold his arm and prevent him from acting.
Camille Claudel
Image
I sleep completely naked to make me believe you are here, but when I wake up it is not the same thing. Most of all, don't deceive me with other women any more.
Camille Claudel
Image
When you left on Saturday, I felt a horrible void, I saw you everywhere, on the beach, in your room, in the garden: impossible for me to get used to the idea that you had left.
Camille Claudel
Image
It is in fact agreed that I am the plague, the cholera of the benevolent and generous men who are interested in art and that, when I show myself with my plasters, even the Emperor of the Sahara would flee.
Camille Claudel
Image
I am in no mood to be deceived any longer by the crafty devil and false character whose greatest pleasure is to take advantage of everyone.
Camille Claudel
Image
Don't fear anything for your letters, they are burnt one by one and I hope you do the same with mine.
Camille Claudel
Image
My countrymen have commissioned a bust of the Republic. It will be placed on the fountain of my native town.
Camille Claudel
Image
I am not feeling any better because I cannot stay in bed, having constant cause for walking. They say I leave at night by the window of my tower, hanging from a red umbrella with which I set fire to the forest!
Camille Claudel
Image
If you are nice, and keep your promise, we will be in paradise.
Camille Claudel
Image
Last night, two men tried to force my shutters. I recognized them: they are two of Rodin's Italian models. He told them to kill me. I am in his way he wants to get rid of me.
Camille Claudel
Image
Madhouses are houses made on purpose to cause suffering . . . I cannot stand any longer the screams of these creatures.
Camille Claudel
Image
I have had the problem of seeing my male model go to Italy and... stay there.
