Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Tears come from the heart and not from the brain
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
The painter has the Universe in his mind and hands.
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
