He who pretends to be either a painter or engraver without being a master of drawing is an imposter.

As in the fourteen lines of sonnet, a few strokes of the pencil can hold immensity.

Dame Laura Knight

I prefer drawing to talking. Drawing is faster and leaves less room for lies.

Le Corbusier

It is only by drawing often, drawing everything, drawing incessantly, that one fine day you discover to your surprise that you have rendered something in its true character.

Camille Pissarro

Drawing is putting a line around an idea.

Henri Matisse

A line is a dot that goes for a walk.

Paul Klee

Drawing is... above all a means of expressing intimate feelings and moods.

Henry Moore
