"Building - I prefer to call it fabrication - happens in my mind. Architecture isn't restricted solely to the visible process [...] A poem, literature, music, even medicine are sources of inspiration to me for architecture. It is misguided to think your working drawing must always end up as a cut-and-dried building."
John Hejduk

"The development of a drawing does not proceed for the most part,
in a straight course, where piece after piece, line after line, is set down
from one end to the other. Decisions are often rejected, proportions
changed, shading adjusted. A totality of process is sought wherein
a constructive critical questioning of one's own work is carried out.
It is understood there will be changes during the working process.
Making decisions is part of drawing."
Dorothea Hofman

"A drawing is always an interpretation and not a duplication of the visible
world. In this sense, it always presents a reformulation of things that one
sees and perceives. With each presentation, these things are given a
new face, another expression. A change of material and formal
preconditions never has a solely esthetic consequence; the
message of the content is always affected as well."

"I have learned that what I have not drawn I have never really seen,
and that when I start drawing an ordinary thing, I realize how
extraordinary it is, sheer miracle."
Frederick Franck
"It is only by drawing often, drawing everything, drawing incessantly,
that one fine day you discover to your surprise that you have rendered
something in its true character."
Camille Pissarro
"The essence of drawing is the line exploring space."
