Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?
Leonardo da Vinci
Many will think they may reasonably blame me by alleging that my proofs are opposed to the authority of certain men held in the highest reverence by their inexperienced judgments not considering that my works are the issue of pure and simple experience.
Leonardo da Vinci
Do not imitate one another's style. If you do, so far as your art is concerned you will be called a grandson, rather than the son of Nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
