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
The smallest feline is a masterpiece.
Leonardo da Vinci
When you are alone you are all your own.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Experiment is the sole interpreter of the artifices of Nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
Be a mirror, absorb everything around you and still remain the same
Leonardo da Vinci
The boundaries of bodies are the least of all things.
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
The Medici made me and the Medici destroyed me.
Leonardo da Vinci
