Teaching is a very effective way to get children to learn something specific – this tube squeaks, say, or a squish then a press then a pull causes the music to play. But it also makes children less likely to discover unexpected information and to draw unexpected conclusions.
In kindergarten I had to draw a picture of what I wanted to be when I grew up. I drew a rapper. I didn’t really know what a rapper was or what they did – I just wanted to do it.

I tell students they will know they are getting somewhere when a scene is so painful they can just barely bring themselves to write about it. A writer has to draw blood.
I can draw pencil lines to show something is moving, but if I’m writing, I struggle with how to write it. The boy ran down the hallway? The boy ran quickly down the hallway? The boy ran down the marble hallway? I agonize over the words. So my editor works very hard. I’m lucky to have her.
Write down everything you can think of, no matter how stupid it seems. I always write down my thoughts throughout the day. Sometimes good things come out of it, and I’ll find an idea to develop into a song, so my best advice is to try and draw inspiration from everyday things.
The writers who reject tendentiousness and purpose in their work are the very ones who display it in every word they write. I could draw countless examples from the history of literature to show that the more a writer clamours for spiritual freedom, the more tendentious his work is liable to be.
Where there’s water on Earth, you find life as we know it. So if you find water somewhere else, it becomes a remarkable draw to look closer to see if life of any kind is there, even if it’s bacterial, which would be extraordinary for the field of biology.
It is by teaching that we teach ourselves, by relating that we observe, by affirming that we examine, by showing that we look, by writing that we think, by pumping that we draw water into the well.

I am not political. It is not my job. But I would be happy if politicians could read my work and draw some conclusions from it.
Okay, so, when I was a kid, definitely the drawings and the illustration. Then I stopped in sixth grade or so. And then I started again when I was in my twenties. I really didn’t progress since then, so the way I draw is the way I drew in sixth grade.
I have a sewing machine that I adore, and I spend a lot of time sitting in front of it when I’m not working. And any excuse to paint or draw or do something artistic with my hands really gets me going. Definitely aspiring.

It was actually seeing a comic book drawn by Barry Smith, who was about my age, and English.
I dish the dirt out, and I can take it. But why should my mother and children have to take it? In 20 years, I have taken any number of stories, most of which are not true, without a murmur of complaint. But some stories you have to draw the line and say No.
We are all racing towards death. No matter how many great, intellectual conclusions we draw during our lives, we know they’re all only man-made, like God. I begin to wonder where it all leads. What can you do, except do what you can do as best you know how.
At that time, the people that were in the animated film business were mostly guys who were unsuccessful newspaper cartoonists. In other words, their ability to draw living things was practically nil.
My goal is to invite readers to think along with me and draw their own conclusions.
I love being an illustrator because I get to read really great stories, work with amazing people, travel and see places I never would’ve seen. And I get to draw all the time.

I mean if you draw you like drawing, it’s er, an activity you do all the time actually.
Terrorists have failed to trigger mass conflict between Muslims and non-Muslims in Europe. We should draw strength from that fact.

All artists get better with age. The more you draw, the better you’re going to get.
I guess Twitter is the first thing that has been attractive to me as social media. I never felt the least draw to Facebook or MySpace.

To some extent, I draw on what I see around me; in other places, I imagine what I write.

Anything that does not draw us closer to God takes us away from Him.
I have 60 years of reading to draw upon: naval memoirs, dispatches, the Naval Chronicles, family letters.

I was in the main draw from the start, my opening match was on Court One against Jan Eric Lundquist of Sweden who was about eight in the world at the time.
The time has come for us to draw the line. The time has come for the responsible leaders of both political parties to take a stand against overgrown Government and for the American taxpayer.
It’s kind of a language I’ve developed over time that’s basically breaking up the face into components and planes. Inside each plane, I draw gradation marks, and when planes come together, they form sinews, a hairlike weave that’s like a landscape of the face.
When you’re an actor or any kind of artist, you use your life as something to draw from in every experience.
