drawings

«Creeds made in Dark Ages are like drawings made in dark rooms»
«I have designed my style pantomimes as white ink drawings on black backgrounds, so that man's destiny appears as a thread lost in an endless labyrinth. I have tried to shed some gleams of light on the shadow of man startled by his anguish.»
«Before I put a sketch on paper, the whole idea is worked out mentally. In my mind I change the construction, make improvements, and even operate the device. Without ever having drawn a sketch I can give the measurements of all parts to workmen, and when completed all these parts will fit, just as certainly as though I had made the actual drawings. It is immaterial to me whether I run my machine in my mind or test it in my shop. The inventions I have conceived in this way have always worked. In thirty years there has not been a single exception. My first electric motor, the vacuum wireless light, my turbine engine and many other devices have all been developed in exactly this way.»
«I don't work from drawings. I don't make sketches and drawings and color sketches into a final painting.»
«My drawings have been described as pre-intentionalist, meaning that they were finished before the ideas for them had occurred to me. I shall not argue the point.»
«I see drawings and pictures in the poorest of huts and the dirtiest of corners.»
«I want to do drawings which touch people...In figure or landscape I should wish to express, not sentimental melancholy, but serious sorrow.»
