The eye encompasses the beauty of the whole world.
Leonardo da Vinci
The most beautiful words of love are told in silence for a look.
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
The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of visible things, and far below the musician in that of invisible things.

The art of procreation and the members employed therein are so repulsive, that if it were not for the beauty of the faces and the adornments of the actors and the pent-up impulse, nature would lose the human species.
Leonardo da Vinci
I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.
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
Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as iron rusts from disuse... even so does inaction spoil the intellect.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Fire destroys falsehood, that is sophistry, and restores truth, driving out darkness.
Leonardo da Vinci
Man and the animals are merely a passage and channel for food, a tomb for other animals, a haven for the dead, giving life by the death of others, a coffer full of corruption.
Leonardo da Vinci
Perspective is a most subtle discovery in mathematical studies, for by means of lines it causes to appear distant that which is near, and large that which is small.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every obstacle is destroyed through rigor.
Leonardo da Vinci
