I studied to be an architect. And I find tremendous similarities between building a company and the design process. Businesses have to do their planning on the fly in a fashion similar to an architect sketching. (John Katzman)
One of the best places for a shy person to meet people is in a coffee shop. If you are a reader, bring a book and read it there - that gives a guy something to ask you about. Same goes for sketching, writing, or any hobby you can take with you. View quote

Yes; for, while memory languidly is fetching Her treasures from the depths which they have lain among, A fragile hand - how thin - how weak - is sadly sketching Figures and fancies that cell's white walls along. On the lip there is a murmur - It is the swan's last song. View quote

I'm born with a pencil in my hand. I did lots of sketching. (Karl Lagerfeld)
It was Constable's persuasion that you should always work in one material: if a water-colour painter, that you should take Nature in water-colour; if an oil-painter, in oil.
