“We all draw when we are children. Drawing the things they love empowers children and reduces their feelings of
vulnerability. I believe this is also true for those of us who draw as adults. Drawing is not just about expressing a visual mode or a well-articulated visual response; it is deeply connected to a natural impulse.
Begin with an emotional response. It could be motivated by something as simple as a twist of hair against a bony clavicle. Second, provide form to that initial response. Here begins the strategy or conception. The trick is not allow the concept to become rigid, but to remain flexible through the visual journey and activity of drawing. Drawing from life is an accumulation of subtle events made evident on a page. Unlike photography, drawing is not instantaneous, but rather is sequential. A drawing can provide the viewer with a relic of compounded experiences that remains alive to the eye”

Whoa!
I had to scroll up and check this wasn't the blatant lie thread.
What did she say?

I got my hair cut yesterday. Not enough to really notice, though? Maybe 1-2" total?
She saw me reading by a window and said "Oh my goodness! You look so beautiful and studious, with your glasses and your hair like that".
I nearly dropped the book.
