Leonardo da Vinci
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.
Leonardo da Vinci
A good painter has two main objects to paint, man and the intention of his soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
True and great love springs out of great knowledge, and where you know little you can love but little or not at all.
Leonardo da Vinci
A bird is an instrument working according to mathematical law, which instrument it is within the capacity of man to reproduce with all its movements.
