More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
He who draws... ought to take his position so that the eye of the figure he is drawing is on a level with his own... because, generally, figures or people whom you meet in the streets all have their eyes at the same level as yours, and if you make them higher or lower you will find that your portrait will not resemble them.
Leonardo da Vinci

Nature alone is the master of true genius.
Leonardo da Vinci
The cat is nature's masterpiece.
Leonardo da Vinci
The painter who draws by practise and judgment of the eye without the use of reason is like the mirror which reproduces within itself all the objects which are set opposite to it without knowledge of the same.
Leonardo da Vinci
The Medici made me and the Medici destroyed me.
Leonardo da Vinci
A bird is an instrument working according to mathematical law, which instrument it is within the capacity of man to reproduce with all its movements.
Leonardo da Vinci
Marriage is like putting your hand into a bag of snakes in the hope of pulling out an eel.

Envy wounds with false accusations, that is with detraction, a thing which scares virtue.
Leonardo da Vinci
