Pens are more determined. I like that. I also like to draw in pen...you'd be surprised the kind of delicate shading that it's possible to achieve with a pen. I love to draw, but when I do I'd rather use charcoal than pencil. Or graphite, which in essence is pencil, but instead the whole stick is pencil instead of just that little bit in the pencil's middle. I like to be bold.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
