Leonardo da Vinci
A day will come in which men will look upon an animal's murder the same way they look today upon a man's murder.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
simplicity is the best sophistication
Leonardo da Vinci
Look at light and admire its beauty. Close your eyes, and then look again: what you saw is no longer there and what you will see later is not yet.
Leonardo da Vinci
