Leonardo da Vinci
Nature never breaks her own laws.
Leonardo da Vinci
O admirable necessity! O powerful action! What mind can penetrate your nature? What language can express this marvel? None, to be sure. This is where human discourse turns toward the contemplation of the divine.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
