Leonardo da Vinci
Learning acquired in youth arrests the evil of old age and if you understand that old age has wisdom for its food, you will so conduct yourself in youth that your old age will not lack for nourishment.
Leonardo da Vinci
A single and distinct luminous body causes stronger relief in the objects than a diffused light as may be seen by comparing one side of a landscape illuminated by the sun, and one overshadowed by clouds, and illuminated only by the diffused light of the atmosphere.
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
Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
If you are on the side whence the wind is blowing you will see the trees looking much lighter than you would see them on the other sides and this is due to the fact that the wind turns up the reverse side of the leaves which in all trees is much whiter than the upper side.
Leonardo da Vinci
A good painter has two main objects to paint, man and the intention of his soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
Do not imitate one another's style. If you do, so far as your art is concerned you will be called a grandson, rather than the son of Nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
The good painter must paint two things: a person and the essence of his soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
Old age takes in part savoury wisdom for its food - see to that your old age will not lack in nourishment.
