Leonardo da Vinci
The organ of perception acts more readily than judgment.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
The wisest and noblest teacher is nature itself.
Leonardo da Vinci
The painter has the Universe in his mind and hands.
Leonardo da Vinci
Man and the animals are merely a passage and channel for food, a tomb for other animals, a haven for the dead, giving life by the death of others, a coffer full of corruption.
Leonardo da Vinci
Good writing comes from good talent.
Leonardo da Vinci
