The eye is the window of the human body through which it feels its way and enjoys the beauty of the world (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
Small rooms and dwellings set the mind on the right path, large ones cause it to go astray (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
Here is a thing which the more it is needed the more it is rejected: and this is advice, which is unwillingly heeded by those who most need it, that is to say, by the ignorant (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
Drawing is based upon perspective, which is nothing else than a thorough knowledge of the function of the eye (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
The young man should first learn perspective, then the proportions of objects. Next, copy work after the hand of a good master, to gain the habit of drawing parts of the body well; and then to work from nature, to confirm the lessons learned (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
We might say that the earth has the spirit of growth; that its flesh is the soil (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
The first of all single colors is white... We shall set down white for the representative of light, without which no color can be seen; yellow for the earth; green for water; blue for air; red for fire; and black for total darkness (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
The light and heat of the universe comes from the sun, and its cold and darkness from the withdrawal of the sun (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
Those who condemn the supreme certainty of mathematics feed on confusion, and can never silence the contradictions of the sophistical sciences which lead to eternal quackery (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
Who would believe that so small a space could contain the images of all the universe? (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
Of several bodies all equally larger and distant, that most brightly illuminated will appear to the eye nearest and largest (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
The sun gives spirit and life to the plants and the earth nourishes them with moisture (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
Nature is so delightful and abundant in its variations that there would not be one that resembles another, and not only plants as a whole, but among their branches, leaves and fruit, will not be found one which is precisely like another (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
What induces you, oh man, to depart from your home in town, to leave parents and friends, and go to the countryside over mountains and valleys, if it is not for the beauty of the world of nature? (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
... we might say that the earth has a spirit of growth; that its flesh is the soil, its bones the arrangement and connection of the rocks of which the mountains are composed, its cartilage the tufa, and its blood the springs of water (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
Of the four elements water is the second in weight and the second in respect of mobility. It is never at rest until it unites with the sea (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
Weight is caused by one element being situated in another; and it moves by the shortest line towards its centre, not by its own choice, not because the centre draws it to itself, but because the other intervening element cannot withstand it (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
Music may be called the sister of painting, for she is dependent upon hearing, the sense which comes second and her harmony is composed of the union of proportional parts sounded simultaneously, rising and falling in one or more harmonic rhythms (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
The knowledge of the past times and of the places of the earth is both an ornament and nutriment to the human mind (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
The first object of the painter is to make a flat plane appear as a body in relief and projecting from that plane (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
It should not be hard for you to stop sometimes and look into the stains of walls, or ashes of a fire, or clouds, or mud or like places, in which... you may find really marvellous ideas (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
Patience serves us against insults precisely as clothes do against the cold. For if you multiply your garments as the cold increases, that cold cannot hurt you; in the same way increase your patience under great offenses, and they cannot hurt your feelings (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
Oysters open completely when the moon is full; and when the crab sees one it throws a piece of stone or seaweed into it and the oyster cannot close again so that it serves the crab for meat. Such is the fate of him who opens his mouth too much and thereby puts himself at the mercy of the listener (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
As regards this vice, we read that the peacock is more guilty of it than any other animal. For it is always contemplating the beauty of its tail, which it spreads in the form of a wheel, and by its cries attracts to itself the gaze of the creatures that surround it. And this is the last vice to be conquered (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
I have found that, in the composition of the human body as compared with the bodies of animals, the organs of sense are duller and coarser. Thus, it is composed of less ingenious instruments, and of spaces less capacious for receiving the faculties of sense (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
It seems that it had been destined before that I should occupy myself so thoroughly with the vulture, for it comes to my mind as a very early memory, when I was still in the cradle, a vulture came down to me, he opened my mouth with his tail and struck me a few times with his tail against my lips (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
The beginnings and ends of shadow lie between the light and darkness and may be infinitely diminished and infinitely increased. Shadow is the means by which bodies display their form. The forms of bodies could not be understood in detail but for shadow (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
One has no right to love or hate anything if one has not acquired a thorough knowledge of its nature. Great love springs from great knowledge of the beloved object, and if you know it but little you will be able to love it only a little or not at all (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
If you are alone you belong entirely to yourself. If you are accompanied by even one companion you belong only half to yourself or even less in proportion to the thoughtlessness of his conduct and if you have more than one companion you will fall more deeply into the same plight (Leonardo Da Vinci Quotes)
