I love this site. It was lovingly hand-shaped it. Your soul transformed this into this art. It was perfect. I have tried to create another equal to it... but to no avail, so I will just have to paint the Sistine Chapel.

The first has to do with how the size of objects seems to diminish according to distance: the second, the manner in which colors change the farther away they are from the eye the third defines how objects ought to be finished less carefully the farther away they are.
Leonardo da Vinci
You must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
You should often amuse yourself when you take a walk for recreation, in watching and taking note of the attitudes and actions of men as they talk and dispute, or laugh or come to blows with one another... noting these down with rapid strokes, in a little pocket-book which you ought always to carry with you.
Leonardo da Vinci
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
He who fears dangers will not perish by them.
Leonardo da Vinci
Although nature commences with reason and ends in experience it is necessary for us to do the opposite, that is to commence with experience and from this to proceed to investigate the reason.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
