More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
The art of procreation and the members employed therein are so repulsive, that if it were not for the beauty of the faces and the adornments of the actors and the pent-up impulse, nature would lose the human species.
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
Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?
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
Things that are separate shall be united and acquire such virtue that they will restore to man his lost memory.
Leonardo da Vinci
Those who are inspired by a model other than Nature, labor in vain.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature never breaks her own laws.
Leonardo da Vinci
The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of visible things, and far below the musician in that of invisible things.
Leonardo da Vinci
There is no higher or lower knowledge, but one only, flowing out of experimentation.
Leonardo da Vinci
Fire destroys falsehood, that is sophistry, and restores truth, driving out darkness.
Leonardo da Vinci
To such an extent does nature delight and abound in variety that among her trees there is not one plant to be found which is exactly like another and not only among the plants, but among the boughs, the leaves and the fruits, you will not find one which is exactly similar to another.
Leonardo da Vinci
To speak well of a base man is much the same as speaking ill of a good man.
Leonardo da Vinci
Our life is made by the death of others.
Leonardo da Vinci
Old age takes in part savoury wisdom for its food - see to that your old age will not lack in nourishment.
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
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
He who walks straight rarely falls.
Leonardo da Vinci
Common Sense is that which judges the things given to it by other senses.
Leonardo da Vinci
As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
Good culture is born of a good disposition and since the cause is more to be praised than the effect, I will rather praise a good disposition without culture, than good culture without the disposition.
Leonardo da Vinci
