“The knowledge of all things is possible”
― Leonardo da Vinci
Think about what this really means?
Here Leonardo dont speak about knowledge as quantitative or separate qualitative "information"... He speak about the lived perceptive feeling experience ... What i called in my post above "the music of the spheres"..
“Principles for the Development of a Complete Mind: Study the science of art. Study the art of science. Develop your senses- especially learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.”
― Leonardo da Vinci
No comment here is necessary...Save for many contemporary lost minds but i lack the necessary space to explain it...
“One has no right to love or hate anything if one has not acquired a thorough knowledge of its nature. Great love springs from great knowledge of the beloved object, and if you know it but little you will be able to love it only a little or not at all.”
― Leonardo DaVinci
This one is deeper that what we may think at first read....
“The painter has the Universe in his mind and hands.”
― Leonardo da Vinci
The musician and the listener of music also has the universe in his body/brain/soul/heart
“An average human looks without seeing, listens without hearing, touches without feeling, eats without tasting, moves without physical awareness, inhales without awareness of odour or fragrance, and talks without thinking.”
― Leonardo da Vinci
Alas! there will be no comment possible here....A part of ourself is always this average human... Awake the other part...
“Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.”
― Leonardo da Vinci
This one is very important one...Where there is listening only with the ears and not with the heart, there is no music either...
“Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.”
― Leonardo da Vinci
For Leonardo love is learning and learning impossible without love....
“Why does the eye see more clearly when asleep than the imagination when awake?”
― Leonardo da Vinci
It seems the attention focus is reversed in dreams, the peripheral command the center and the center here reflect the whole and we see more clearly that in our daydream imaginations, because when "awake" the center hide the peripheral source most of the times... We are "awake" it seems but hypnotized by the foci and only sleepwalkers..
“Details make perfection, and perfection is not a detail.”
― Leonardo Da Vinci
The parts participate to the whole, the whole is the "aura" of the part, not the part..
“Truth at last cannot be hidden. Dissimulation is of no avail. Dissimulation is to no purpose before so great a judge. Falsehood puts on a mask. Nothing is hidden under the sun.”
― Leonardo da Vinci
How true it is in the actual worldwide crisis but :
“There are three classes of people: those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.”
― Leonardo da Vinci
this last one:
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.
Learning never exhausts the mind.
Art is never finished, only abandoned.
Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.
The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art.
It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.
I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.
Water is the driving force of all nature.”
― Leonardo da Vinci
