Claude Cahun (25 October 1894 – 8 December 1954), born Lucy Renee Mathilde Schwob, was a Jewish-French photographer, sculptor and writer.
If I vibrate with vibrations other than yours, must you conclude that my flesh is insensitive?
Individualism? Narcissism? Of course. It is my strongest tendency, the only intentional constancy [fidelity] I am capable of. . . . Besides, I am lying; I scatter myself too much for that.
If there is horror, it is for those who speak indifferently of the next war. If there is hate, it is for hateful qualities, not nations. If there is love, it is because this alone kept me alive.
Realities disguised as symbols are, for me, new realities that are immeasurably preferable. I make an effort to take them at their word. To grasp, to carry out the diktat of images to the letter.
