If somebody writes a great poem, people don't run around applauding the pencil, saying 'Oh, what a great pencil'...I'm a pencil in God's hands.

Keith Green

Both liquid and pencil eyeliner can be used on the top and bottom eyes. I then use eye shadow over the pencil to blend evenly to ensure there's no skipping and patchiness. With pencil as a base, it's easier to get a seamlessly blended effect. If a stronger line is desired, trace over the pencil line with liquid eyeliner.

Pat McGrath

I am only a little pencil in the hand of our Lord. He may cut or sharpen the pencil. He may write or draw whatever and whenever he wants. If the writing or drawing is good, we do not honor the pencil or the material that is used, but rather the one who used it.

Mother Teresa

The thing I hear about a lot is when people over-sharpen their pencil with a single-blade pocket-sharpener and then when they put the pencil to the page, their tip breaks and pencil points always break irregularly. It always gets all jagged and you have to refresh the point. That's a common complaint.

David Rees

Success is not something that can be measured or worn on a watch or hung on a wall. It is not the esteem of colleagues, or the admiration of the community, or the appreciation of patients. Success is the certain knowledge that you have become yourself, the person you will meant to be from all time. That should be reward enough.

Eleanor Roosevelt

There's always a pencil in my bag. I put everything in pencil in my datebook. I live in L.A. - everyone's flaky.

Sonya Walger

I always lose every single pencil I ever had. So I can draw with everything. With pencil, with pen.

Alessandro Michele

I've got to feel the pencil and see the words at the end of the pencil.

William Faulkner

I normally like to do a lip pencil and then fill it in with the same pencil because it stays on all day, and you don't have to reapply it.

Khloe Kardashian

When my father first took me to Ennis Library I went down among the shelves and felt company, not only the company of writers, but the readers too, because they had lifted and opened and read these books. The books were worn in a way they can only get worn by hands and eyes and minds

Niall Williams

The pencil sharpener is about as far as I have ever got in operating a complicated piece of machinery with any success.

Robert Benchley

The look of success, when it is worn a certain way, would infuriate a jackass.

Albert Camus

I now let go of worn out things, worn out conditions, and worn out relationships. Divine order is now established and maintained in me and in my world.

Catherine Ponder

A computer does not substitute for judgment any more than a pencil substitutes for literacy. But writing without a pencil is no particular advantage.

Robert McNamara

Every movie that I've had to really knock down the door for has been an enormous success for me. Not just like a financial success but a real personal success.

Jodie Foster

I don't have a favorite cooking tool. In the kitchen, I always have my pencil and notebook in my hand. I cook more theoretically than I do practically. My job is creative, and in the kitchen, the biggest part of my creativity is theoretical. The pencil has a symbolic meaning for me. The type of person who carries a pencil around is the type of person who's open to change. Someone who walks around with a pen isn't; he's the opposite.
