Work Art Talent France sculptor You find me at work; excuse the dust on my blouse. I sculpt my marble myself. - Camille Claudel
Months Care Years 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
Circumstance Months I thank you for your kind invitation to introduce me to the president of the Republic. Since I have not been out of my atelier for two months, I have no appropriate costume for this circumstance. Please excuse me. - Camille Claudel

Harm Want I don't want to say anything because I know I am unable to protect you from the harm that I see. - Camille Claudel
Nothing Life I have been back in Paris for two weeks. Nothing new. Life is still bitter. - Camille Claudel
Money 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. - Camille Claudel
They are imbeciles who call my work abstract. That which they call abstract is the most realistic, because what is real is not the exterior but the idea, the essence of things. - Constantin Brancusi
I will work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to preserve the Social Security promise that provides secure retirement benefits for all, especially those who are most at risk such as widows, orphans, and people with disabilities when the need arises. - Chaka Fattah
It's very much like filmmaking always is-you're always asked to do something that you're not sure you know how to do. So you make an educated guess as to what you think will work and you hope between that and plan B, that you can end up with a product that's really good. - John Dykstra
