10 QUOTES WITH «DRAWER»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word drawer.
1
Ian Anderson
I don't think people really do listen. We plug into music, and we have short attention spans. We tend to download individual tracks from iTunes rather than a whole album. We buy music DVDs and watch them once, and then they disappear into a drawer, or we loan them to a friend, and we never watch it again.
2
Natalie Babbitt
My mother was an artist, and I was fairly good at art as a child. I was always the best drawer in class, except in second grade when an artistic genius passed through our school!
3
Peter Bichsel
Why does one always ask a writer why they stopped? I am sure everyone finds in any drawer a few dear poems.
4
Italo Calvino
I write... sonnets... and writing sonnets is boring. You have to find rhymes; you have to write hendecasyllables; so after a while, I get bored and my drawer is overflowing with unfinished short poems.
5
Anne Carson
Maybe I could have been good as a drawer if I had done it as much as I did writing, but it's more scary to draw. It's more revealing. You can't disguise yourself in drawing.
6
Christo
You see, we are not machines and we do not have lots of ideas in a drawer.
7
Emun Elliott
I had a Spider-man costume when I was about three, and I lost the mask. So I went to the underwear drawer and put a pair of red pants on my head. My dad came home and just laughed, and I ran into my room and burst into tears.
8
Geraldine Ferraro
My desk drawer is filled with all kinds of prayers.

Diane von Furstenberg
When you come to a hotel room, you want it to be grand, functional and beautiful. But you don't want things that are not useful. Sometimes you go to hotels and there are all these frames and pictures of people you don't know, and you end up hiding everything in the drawer, and then housekeeping come and put it out again.
10
Mickey Gilley
I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I do know how to count.
