Artists recognize other artists as soon as the pencil begins to move.
Dan Simmons
Image
She assumes that skill will guide her fingertips, that shapely lines will uncoil out of the pencil the moment she starts. Surely talent is a thing curled deep inside, just waiting to be exercised, and at the slightest invitation it will stretch, shake itself, make itself known? Talent, it seems, is not so insistent.
Gregory Maguire
Image
I suppose I'll be remembered as dull. Timid. No one ever knew me. People came. They went. I was kind, I think. Not sympathetic, but considerate of others. I always gave up my place in line. I loaned out pencils and paper, or let people take them from me. I never reported a sexual assault.
Julie Anne Peters

Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf
Image
The advantage is that mathematics is a field in which one's blunders tend to show very clearly and can be corrected or erased with a stroke of the pencil.
Norbert Wiener
Image
For one that comes with a pencil to sketch or sing, a thousand come with an axe or rifle. What a coarse and imperfect use Indiansand hunters make of nature! No wonder that their race is so soon exterminated.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
Well, painting is the one thing I do, that is just me. It's me and easels, and the pencils. And as long as I don't drool too much over the canvas, the colors come out pretty good. And it's a chance to express all that I've got inside, that I sometimes keep hidden. And I think that's why I paint big broad, wide open landscapes.
Joni Eareckson Tada

On my desk, I always have a lemon or a lime drying. I love the fragrance. Also, a Staedtler eraser, a brush for the eraser and a pencil sharpener.
Maira Kalman
Image
Observation made in the cloister or in the desert will generally be as obscure as the one and as barren as the other but he that would paint with his pencil must study originals, and not be over-fearful of a little dust.
Charles Caleb Colton
Image
How do you get rid of hiccups? Drink water upside-down and put a pencil in your mouth. Is that possible?
Heidi Montag
Image
Unfortunately when I start to talk or when someone watches over my shoulders my pencil either stops or I draw meaningless lines.
E. J. Hughes
Image
I got behind that pencil and nothing happened for many years, but since they put me in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, I've turned around. I took a good look at myself and said, I think it's time to get back at work.
Otis Blackwell
Image
You're not going to be on top of mountain all by yourself with a #2 pencil What we need to learn is how to learn.
Joichi Ito
Image
Imaginary evils soon become real ones by indulging our reflections on them as he who in a melancholy fancy sees something like a face on the wall or the wainscot can, by two or three touches with a lead pencil, make it look visible, and agreeing with what he fancied.
Jonathan Swift
Image
Some people may be famous for creating a pencil sharpener. I'm famous for my tits.
Katie Price

Just get out your magic pencil and erase the cloudy skies, and just draw a picture of me saying, I apologize.
Bill Anderson
Image
Comedians are really writers who don't have pens and pencils about them, but they riff.
Carl Reiner
Image
...as for helping me in the outside world, the Convent taught me only that if you spit on a pencil eraser, it will erase ink.
Dorothy Parker
Image
My father would sit and design furniture and cabinets - he was a carpenter and cabinet maker - and I would ask for my own piece of paper and pencil. And when I would say, 'What should I draw?' he would push a cartoon under my nose and say, 'Here, draw this.' So the cartoon became a kind of focus of attention.
Burne Hogarth
Image
I wanted to get paid to sharpen pencils originally just because I thought it would be fun.
David Rees
Image
Graffiti is linear and it's done with a pencil, and it's like writing on walls. But in my paintings it's more lyrical.
Cy Twombly
Image
Once you use a toothbrush to clean a pencil sharpener, you should no longer use it to clean your teeth.
David Rees
Image
What does a river like the Vistula carry away with it? Everything that goes to pieces: wood, glass, pencils, pacts ... chairs, bones, and sunsets too. What had long been forgotten rose to memory, floating on its back or stomach, with the help of the Vistula.
Gunter Grass

Blue liner at the lash line is a great way to brighten the eyes. I also love using a flesh-toned eye pencil on the water line to neutralize any redness. Tipping the lashes with navy mascara is another great way to make the whites appear whiter.
