"Step into the mind of a true genius! This book is filled with Leonardo's insightful thoughts and interpretations about a wide variety of topics such as: the elements, flight, art, and even some short tales. It contains a small biography of Leonardo giving the reader a good sense of setting. It also organizes Leonardo's notebooks into basic and easy to follow categories, allowing the reader to pick and choose what interests them the most. This makes the book a joy to read. It does not have to be read front to back; the reader is able to skip around and read what they feel like at that moment. On the downside there are a few minor details that damper its enjoyment. The first is the enormous amount of references to manuscripts. In the reading they have annotations which point to the back where the manuscripts are listed, but this creates confusion while reading, since many of the references are not well known. The other downside is the lack of illustrations. Even though there are a couple integrated into the writing, Leonardo was known for his many sketches, and the lack of these leaves the reader with a sense of emptiness for Leonardo's thoughts. Overall this book is a well organized piece of Leonardo Da Vinci's deepest thoughts, allowing the reader to dive into the mind of a mastermind."
""Force arises from dearth or abundance; it is the child of physical motion, and the grandchild of spiritual motion, and the mother and origin of gravity." 186
"Science is the observation of things possible, whether present or past. Prescience is the knowledge of things which may come to pass, though but slowly." 252
"Wisdom is the daughter of experience." 288
"Just as eating contrary to the inclination is injurious to the health, so study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in." 302
"No counsel is more trustworthy than that which is given upon ships that are in peril." 302"
"One of the defining periods of my life was when I read Leonardo's notebooks. His awareness, curiosity, and maddening drive towards perfection of his understanding of reality is beautiful.
You really get a grasp of his personality from the notebooks. He suffered greatly from the thought that he'd die before I got it all figured out."
