“I draw because words are too unpredictable.
I draw because words are too limited.
If you speak and write in English, or Spanish, or Chinese, or any other language, then only a certain percentage of human beings will get your meaning.

If I draw a cartoon of a flower, then every man, woman, and child in the world can look at it and say, "That's a flower.”
― The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
