Famous quotes containing the word pencil:

“Then my verse I dishonour, my pictures despise,
My person degrade & my temper chastise;
And the pen is my terror, the pencil my shame;
And my talents I bury, and dead is my fame.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“The pencil of the Holy Ghost hath laboured more in describing the afflictions of Job than the felicities of Solomon.”
