More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
In an atmosphere of uniform density the most distant things seen through it, such as the mountains, in consequence of the great quantity of atmosphere which is between your eye and them, will appear blue. Therefore you should make the building... wall which is more distant less defined and bluer... five times as far away, make five times as blue.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
One can have no more mastery over the environment, than one has over himself.

Leonardo da Vinci
When you are painting you should take a flat mirror and often look at your work within it, and it will then be seen in reverse, and will appear to be by the hand of some other master, and you will be better able to judge of its faults than in any other way.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as iron which is not used grows rusty, and water putrefies and freezes in the cold, so the mind of which no use is made is spoilt.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every part is disposed to unite with the whole, that it may thereby escape from its own incompleteness.
Leonardo da Vinci
Marriage is like putting your hand into a bag of snakes in the hope of pulling out an eel.
Leonardo da Vinci
Not to appreciate life, all of life, is not to deserve it.
Leonardo da Vinci
It is the infinite alone that cannot be attained, for if it could it would become finite.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning never exhausts the mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
