"Do not imitate one another's style. If..." - Quote by Leonardo Da Vinci

“We might say that the earth has the spirit of growth; that its flesh is the soil.”

“If you are on the side whence the wind is blowing you will see the trees looking much lighter than you would see them on the other sides; and this is due to the fact that the wind turns up the reverse side of the leaves which in all trees is much whiter than the upper side.”

“I'm not contented to capture the world. I want to change it.”

“The charming landscape which I saw this morning is indubitably made up of some twenty or thirty farms. Miller owns this field, Locke that, and Manning the woodland beyond. But none of them owns the landscape. There is property in the horizon which no man has but he whose eye can integrate all parts, that is, the poet. This is the best part of these men's farms, yet to this their warranty-deeds give no title.”

“If a person is confident enough in the way they feel, whether it's an art form or whether it's just in life, it comes off---you don't have anything to prove; you can just be who you are.”

“There is no better exercise than to study and devour a picture, and then, without looking at it again, to attempt the next day to reproduce it.”

“It is only the unimaginative who ever invents. The true artist is known by the use he makes of what he annexes.”

“Disciples be damned. It's not interesting. It's only the masters that matter. Those who create.”

“Being crazy isn't enough.”
