Drawings Quotes (page 8)

The Romans can not be condemned for the conquest of Egypt; we were conquered by time itself in the end. And all the wonders of this brave new century should draw me from my grief and yet I can not heal my heart; and so the mind suffers; the mind closes as if it were a flower without sun Anne Rice
Only to a magician is the world forever fluid, infinitely mutable and eternally new. Only he knows the secret of change, only he knows truly that all things are crouched in eagerness to become something else, and it is from this universal tension that he draws his power. Peter S. Beagle
...though I am still...exceedingly puzzled as to why our murderer should decide to draw almost inevitable attention to himself by wearing such a conspicuous pair of plimsolls and running around Burford for two and a half hours. Colin Dexter
Each of our passions, even love, has a stomach that must not be overloaded. We must in everything write the word 'finis' in time; we must restrain ourselves, when it becomes urgent; we must draw the bolt on the appetite, play a fantasia on the violin, then break the strings with our own hand. The Wise man is he who knows when and how to stop. Victor Hugo
Marilyn French quote: "That's sheer luck too: luck of the draw of birth: century,..."
That's sheer luck too: luck of the draw of birth: century, continent, nation, section, sex, color, socioeconomic sector. Marilyn French

Charlotte Bronte quote: "As far as my experience of matrimony goes -- I think it tends..."
As far as my experience of matrimony goes -- I think it tends to draw you out of, and away from yourself. Charlotte Bronte
Yet if there really were a complete unified theory, it would also presumably determine our actions—so the theory itself would determine the outcome of our search for it! And why should it determine that we come to the right conclusions from the evidence? Might it not equally well determine that we draw the wrong conclusion? Or no conclusion at all? Stephen Hawking Stephen Hawking
John Fowles quote: "When you draw something it lives and when you photograph it it..."
When you draw something it lives and when you photograph it it dies John Fowles
Antoine de Saint-Exupery quote: "My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a..."
My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
LOSING: Losing too is still ours; and even forgettingstill has a shape in the kingdom of transformation. When something's let go of, it circles; and though we arerarely the centerof the circle, it draws around us its unbroken, marvelouscurve. Rainer Maria Rilke
The half-brained creature to whom books are other than living things may see with the eyes of a bat and draw with the fingers of a mole his dullard's distinction between books and life: those who live the fuller life of a higher animal than he know that books are to poets as much part of that life as pictures are to painters or as music is to musicians, dead matter though they may be to the spiritually still-born children of dirt and dullness who find it possible and natural to live while... Algernon Charles Swinburne
He tried to think of something to say but could not. He's had this feeling before, beyond the numbness and the dull despair. The world shrinking down about a raw core of parsible entities. The names of things slowly following those things into oblivion. Colors. The names of birds. Things toe eat. Finally the names of things one believed to be true. More fragile than he would have thought. How much was gone already? The sacred idiom shorn of its referents and so of its reality. Drawing down... Cormac McCarthy
Literature duplicates the experience of living in a way that nothing else can, drawing you so fully into another life that you temporarily forget you have one of your own. That is why you read it, and might even sit up in bed till early dawn, throwing your whole tomorrow out of whack, simply to find out what happens to some people who, you know perfectly well, are made up. Barbara Kingsolver
Chuck Jones quote: "You've got a million bad drawings in you; you better get started."
You've got a million bad drawings in you; you better get started. Chuck Jones
