A biography for Camille Claudelhasn’t been written yet.
“I have been back in Paris for two weeks. Nothing new. Life is still bitter.”
“I took all my wax studies and threw them in the fire... that's the way it is when something unpleasant happens to me. I take my hammer and I squash a figure.”
“Don't fear anything for your letters, they are burnt one by one and I hope you do the same with mine.”
“You promised to take care of me and not to turn your back on me. How is it possible that you never wrote to me even once and you never came back to see me? Do you think that it is fun for me to spend months, even years, without any news, without any hope!”
“I have all sorts of problems and feel discouraged.”
“I would have preferred to be successful here with a piece that cost me a huge amount of money and effort... rather than sending to Bohemia some ordinary works.”
“I tolerate my faults but not at all other people's.”
