Leonardo da Vinci
Look at light and admire its beauty. Close your eyes, and then look again: what you saw is no longer there and what you will see later is not yet.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Who sows virtue ought to reap honour.
Leonardo da Vinci
Most men are of naught more use in their lives but as machines for turning food into sh*t.
Leonardo da Vinci
When you are painting you should take a flat mirror and often look at your work within it, and it will then be seen in reverse, and will appear to be by the hand of some other master, and you will be better able to judge of its faults than in any other way.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Our body is dependent on heaven and heaven on the Spirit.
Leonardo da Vinci
The body of the earth is of the nature of a fish... because it draws water as its breath instead of air.
Leonardo da Vinci
Envy wounds with false accusations, that is with detraction, a thing which scares virtue.
Leonardo da Vinci
Tears come from the heart and not from the brain
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
The desire to know is natural to good men.
Leonardo da Vinci
Everything comes from everything, and everything is made out of everything, and everything returns into everything.
Leonardo da Vinci
In her (nature's) inventions nothing is lacking and nothing is superfluous.
Leonardo da Vinci
The wisest and noblest teacher is nature itself.
Leonardo da Vinci
The first of all simple colours is White ... We shall set down White for the representative of light, without which no colour can be seen Yellow for the earth Green for water Blue for air Red for fire and Black for total darkness.
Leonardo da Vinci
