The painter has the Universe in his mind and hands.

I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection.

There are three classes of people: those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.

If you are alone you belong entirely to yourself. If you are accompanied by even one companion you belong only half to yourself, or even less, in proportion to the thoughtlessness of his conduct; and if you have more than one companion you will fall more deeply into the same plight.

...the most sublime of oddballs, Leonardo da Vinci

While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.
-Leonardo Da Vinci
