the right proportion
“I disregard the proportions, the measures, the tempo of the ordinary world. I refuse to live in the ordinary world as ordinary women. To enter ordinary relationships. I want ecstasy. I am a neurotic — in the sense that I live in my world. I will not adjust myself to the world. I am adjusted to myself.”

a farewell note
…After a long and stormy relationship with Youki, Foujita left for Brazil, leaving her the following farewell note:
“I don’t have any more strength to fight in Paris …. Let me have the simple life which I dream of …. You now have a faithful friend, Robert …. who has taken my place and for him you are the dearest person in the world.”
youki (lucie badoul) later married the poet robert desnos.
