Leonardo Da Vinci quotes
I've been looking for quotes by Leonardo Da Vinci and now I know why he's really a classic speaking to us. The proof:
Leonardo on self-help:
In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time
Leonardo on fundamentalism:
The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions
Leonardo on studying:
Learning never exhausts the mind
dd
Leonardo on Giorgio Armani:
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication
Leonardo on the economic crisis:
He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year
Leonardo on the artist
He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind

Questions without answers IV or V, I've lost track
Exactly at what point does the old fashioned becomes vintage?

Wiener Werkstätte
Vienna Workshops: Cooperative enterprise for crafts and design founded in Vienna in 1903. Inspired by William Morris
and the English Arts and Crafts movement, it was founded by Koloman Moser and Josef Hoffman with the goal of restoring the values of handcraftsmanship to an industrial society in which such crafts were dying. Its members had close ties to the artists of the Vienna Sezession and the Art Nouveau movement. The Wiener Werkstätte's work in jewelry, furnishings, interior design, fashion, and other areas, which often celebrated the beauty of geometry, became widely known for elegance and innovation, and this “square style” influenced the work of the Bauhaus craftsmen in the 1920s as well as the work of Frank Lloyd Wrighthh

From Mark to Juliet
5th April 1946
You're being elusive and I don't like it. I don't want to see the play with someone else - I want to go with you. In fact, I don't give a damn about the play. I'm only trying to rout you out of that apartment. Dinner? Tea? Cocktails? Boating? Dancing? You choose and I'll obey. I'm rarely so docile - don't throw away this opportunity to improve my character.
Yours

From Juliet to Mark
Dear Mark,
Do you want to come to the British Museum with me? I've got an appointment in the Reading Room at two o'clock. We can look at the mummies afterwards.

From Mark to Juliet
To hell with the Reading Room and the mummies. Come have lunch with me.

From Juliet to Mark
Do you consider that docile?

......We all want to come and meet you - but a new fear has struck me. There could be twenty other passengers on the mail boat, and how will I know which one is you? That book photo is a blurry little thing and i don't want to go kissing the wrong woman. Could you wear a big red hat with a veil and carry lilies?

....My mother's sister lives in Jersey. Now that the war is over she's able to visit us - more's the pity....

30th July 1946, 7.30 p.m.
Night cold. Ocean noisy. Will Thisby was host. House dusted, but curtains need washing.
Mrs Winslow Daubbs read a chapter from her autobiography, The Life and Loves of Delilah Daubbs. Audience attentive - but silent afterwards. Except for Winslow, who wants a divorce.
