Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
And you who wish to represent by words the form of man and all the aspects of his membrification, relinquish that idea.

And so it is necessary to draw and to describe.
Leonardo da Vinci
Science is the observation of things possible, whether present or past prescience is the knowledge of things which may come to pass, though but slowly.
Leonardo da Vinci

I love this site. It was lovingly hand-shaped it. Your soul transformed this into this art. It was perfect. I have tried to create another equal to it... but to no avail, so I will just have to paint the Sistine Chapel.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who truly knows has no occasion to shout.
Leonardo da Vinci
In fact, whatever exists in the universe, in essence, in appearance, in the imagination, the painter has first in his mind and then in his hands ... it lies in his power to create them . . .
Leonardo da Vinci
Being engulfed in practice without delicate knowledge related to it, is in many ways like entering a ship without knowing where it is headed.
