Leonardo da Vinci
Fire is to represent truth because it destroys all sophistry and lies and the mask is for lying and falsehood which conceal truth.
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
It is useful to constantly observe, note, and consider.
Leonardo da Vinci
Lying on a feather mattress or quilt will not bring you renown.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nothing is hidden under the sun.
