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
An arch consists of two weaknesses which, leaning one against the other, make a strength.
Leonardo da Vinci
We ought not to desire the impossible.
Leonardo da Vinci
He only moves toward the perfection of his art whose criticism surpasses his achievement.
