Sir Rodin convinced my parents to have me committed; they are all in Paris to arrange it.
Camille Claudel

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

You find me at work; excuse the dust on my blouse. I sculpt my marble myself.
Camille Claudel

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

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!
Camille Claudel

You see that it is not at all like Rodin... I share these only with you, don't show them.
Camille Claudel
