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.

More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
He only moves toward the perfection of his art whose criticism surpasses his achievement.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you are representing a white body let it be surrounded by ample space, because as white has no colour of its own, it is tinged and altered in some degree by the colour of the objects surrounding it
Leonardo da Vinci
Perspective is nothing more than a rational demonstration applied to the consideration of how objects in front of the eye transmit their image to it, by means of a pyramid of lines. The Pyramid is the name I apply to the lines which, starting from the surface and edges of each object, converge from a distance and meet in a single point.
Leonardo da Vinci
To enjoy - to love a thing for its own sake and for no other reason.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as iron rusts from disuse... even so does inaction spoil the intellect.
Leonardo da Vinci
Medicine is the restoration of discordant elements sickness is the discord of the elements infused into the living body.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.
Leonardo da Vinci
Instrumental or mechanical science is the noblest and above all others, the most useful.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature alone is the master of true genius.
Leonardo da Vinci
The truth of things is the chief nutriment of superior intellects.
Leonardo da Vinci
There are three classes of people: those who see, those who see when they are shown, those who do not see.
Leonardo da Vinci
That painter who has no doubts will achieve little.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you are alone you belong entirely to yourself. If you are accompanied by even one companion you belong only half to yourself or even less in proportion to the thoughtlessness of his conduct and if you have more than one companion you will fall more deeply into the same plight.
Leonardo da Vinci
The five senses are the ministers of the soul.
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
I am never weary of being useful... In serving others I cannot do enough. No labor is sufficient to tire me.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who has access to the fountain does not go to the water-pot.
Leonardo da Vinci
Time stays long enough for anyone who will use it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nothing is more apt to deceive us than our own judgment of our work. We derive more benefit from having our faults pointed out by our enemies than from hearing the opinions of friends.
Leonardo da Vinci
Truly man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds them. We live by the death of others. We are burial places.
Leonardo da Vinci
