More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
There is no result in nature without a cause understand the cause and you will have no need of the experiment.
Leonardo da Vinci
Things that are separate shall be united and acquire such virtue that they will restore to man his lost memory.
Leonardo da Vinci
Being engulfed in practice without delicate knowledge related to it, is in many ways like entering a ship without knowing where it is headed.
Leonardo da Vinci
Surely when a man is painting a picture he ought not refuse to hear any man's opinion... Since men are able to form a true judgement as to the works of nature, how much more does it behoove us to admit that they are able to judge our faults.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every part is disposed to unite with the whole, that it may thereby escape from its own incompleteness.
Leonardo da Vinci
Perspective is a most subtle discovery in mathematical studies, for by means of lines it causes to appear distant that which is near, and large that which is small.
Leonardo da Vinci
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
Nature alone is the master of true genius.
Leonardo da Vinci
The painter has the Universe in his mind and hands.
Leonardo da Vinci
The vivacity and brightness of colors in a landscape will never bear any comparison with a landscape in nature when it is illumined by the sun, unless the painting is placed in such a position that it will receive the same light from the sun as does the landscape.
Leonardo da Vinci
We must doubt the certainty of everything which passes through the senses, but how much more ought we to doubt things contrary to the senses, such as the existence of God and the soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
The eye - which sees all objects reversed - retains the images for some time.
Leonardo da Vinci
Beauty perishes in life, but is immortal in art.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who possesses most must be most afraid of loss.
Leonardo da Vinci
Thirst will parch your tongue and your body will waste through lack of sleep ere you can describe in words that which painting instantly sets before the eye.
Leonardo da Vinci
When you are alone you are all your own.
Leonardo da Vinci
I roamed the countryside searching for answers to things I did not understand. Why shells existed on the tops of mountains. How the various circles of water form around the spot which has been struck by a stone, and why a bird sustains itself in the air.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning is the only thing that never disappoints us.
Leonardo da Vinci
The boundaries of bodies are the least of all things.
Leonardo da Vinci
Music... is the shaping of the invisible.
Leonardo da Vinci
