Necessity is the mistress and guardian of Nature.

The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci (1883)

A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light.

There will be great winds by reason of which things of the East will become things of the West; and those of the South, being involved in the course of the winds, will follow them to distant lands.

The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci (1883)
