Leonardo Tmnt Quotes

There's a proverb, a maxim, that runs, 'The dead man is dead; let's give a hand to the living.' Now, you say that to a man from the North, and he visualizes the scene of an accident with one dead and one injured man; it's reasonable to let the dead man be and to set about saving the injured man. But a Sicilian visualizes a murdered man and his murderer, and the living man who's to be helped is the murderer. ~ Leonardo Sciascia

I've never believed that they're separate. Leonardo da Vinci was a great artist and a great scientist. Michelangelo knew a tremendous amount about how to cut stone at the quarry. The finest dozen computer scientists I know are all musicians. Some are better than others, but they all consider that an important part of their life. I don't believe that the best people in any of these fields see themselves as one branch of a forked tree. I just don't see that.People bring these things together a lot. Dr. Land at Polaroid said, "I want Polaroid to stand at the intersection of art and science," and I've never forgotten that. I think that that's possible, and I think a lot of people have tried. ~ Steve Jobs

My heroes are guys like Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Matt Damon. These are amazing actors with amazing careers that every actor should aspire to. I'm not saying I'm going to get anywhere close. It's not going to be an easy feat. I'm just in awe of their careers. ~ Dylan O'Brien

I have to say as an actor I have been inspired by so many British actors throughout the years. ~ Leonardo DiCaprio

In that instant I regretted my indiscretion, and I have never really known if it was a form of compensation of because I needed to vomit up my pent-up anger that I did something unusual for me and told him about the ups and downs my family had experienced in the previous two months since my younger brother controversially came out a homosexual. I unleashed all the resentment I felt toward my parents for having punished the kid so cruelly. As I spoke, I noted that I had been so obtuse that until that exact moment, as I confided the details and feelings I hadn't even revealed to my wife to a person I barely knew, I had concentrated my resentment on my parents' attitude because in reality I had been ignoring the true origins of what had happened: the persistence of an institutionalized homophobia, of an extended ideological fundamentalism that rejected and repressed anything different and preyed on the most vulnerable ones, on those who don't adjust to the canons of orthodoxy. Then I understood that not just my parents but I myself had been the pawn of ancestral prejudices, of the surrounding pressures of the time, and, above all, the victim of fear, as much as or more (without a doubt, more) than William. I felt a certain rancor toward my brother, precisely because it was my brother who had been declared a faggot: I could understand and even accept that two professors may have gone the other way, but this wasn't the same as knowing - and having others know - that the one who we ~ Leonardo Padura

The deeper the feeling, the greater the pain ~ Leonardo Da Vinci

To lie is vile, to tell truth is excellent, if not noble. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci

The evil which does me no harm is like the good which in no wise avails me. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci

Music may be called the sister of painting, for she is dependent upon hearing, the sense which comes second and her harmony is composed of the union of proportional parts sounded simultaneously, rising and falling in one or more harmonic rhythms. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci

To enjoy - to love a thing for its own sake and for no other reason. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci

Just as iron which is not used grows rusty, and water putrefies and freezes in the cold, so the mind of which no use is made is spoilt. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci

As regards this vice, we read that the peacock is more guilty of it than any other animal. For it is always contemplating the beauty of its tail, which it spreads in the form of a wheel, and by its cries attracts to itself the gaze of the creatures that surround it. And this is the last vice to be conquered. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci

The history of the universe and nature is being told to us by the stars, by the Earth, by the uprising and elevation of the mountains, by the animals, the woods and jungles, and by the rivers. Our task is to know how to listen and interpret the messages that are sent to us. The original peoples knew how to read every movement of the clouds, the meaning of the winds, and they knew when violent downpours were coming ... We have forgotten all that. ~ Leonardo Boff

Why seek to embarrass [the artist] with vanities foreign to his quietness? Know you not that certain sciences require the whole man, leaving no part of him at leisure for your trifles? ~ Leonardo Da Vinci

Art is the queen of all sciences communicating knowledge to all the generations of the world. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci

Vision without execution is hallucination. .. Skill without imagination is barren. Leonardo [da Vinci] knew how to marry observation and imagination, which made him history's consummate innovator. ~ Walter Isaacson

O Time with your teethy years! You swallow up all things little by little in a slow-motion, wrinkling process of dying. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci

Just as courage is the danger of life, so is fear its safeguard. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci

Nature appears to have been the cruel stepmother rather than the mother of many animals. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci

I've just got to maintain my passion for what I do. ~ Leonardo DiCaprio

While I thought I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci

Good writing comes from good talent. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci

Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci

I awoke, only to see that the rest of the world is still asleep. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci

I know a lot of the intense moments in 'Titanic' were made that much easier and were pushed to even further limits because of that relationship. ~ Leonardo DiCaprio

I think it's a real danger, as an actor, when you try to make some statement through your career about what the business should be doing or ultimately what your image should be or how you want to be perceived. I look at every project that comes along and say, "Is this something I can sink my teeth into and can do a good job on?" That's really how I choose roles. ~ Leonardo DiCaprio

The structural similarity of men, and their ability to be represented both as ideal, like Leonardo's Vitruvian Man, and as average. Man being the measure of all things, and therefore a sort of standard and interchangeable unit of length, breadth, intelligence, emotion. We could lay them end to end to measure the distance between the continents, the distance to the moon. We could use them to calculate the weight of weather, or to buy things at the grocery. With such an abundance of men, we could gauge anything we chose. ~ Alexandra Kleeman

These types of films that are psychologically sort of dark at times, I find extremely exciting to do because there's always something to think about. There's nothing more boring than to show up on set and say a line and know that your character means exactly what they say. It's interesting to have an unreliable narrator in a film and that's what both of those films have been. ~ Leonardo DiCaprio

I'm a big Leonardo DiCaprio fan. And if I could have a career like his ... he's amazing. And not only his career, his public persona and how he carries himself. ~ Luke Benward

The core of liberation theology is profoundly "theologal" - that is, rooted in the very nature of God. You see, there's an immediate relationship between God, oppression, liberation: God is in the poor who cry out. And God is the one who listens to the cry and liberates, so that the poor no longer need to cry out. ( Leonardo Boff, p. 166) ~ Mev Puleo

I'm a big history buff so to walk the streets ... the ancient world like that was pretty astounding. ~ Leonardo DiCaprio

Imagine what Masaccio or Leonardo would have done if they had an instrument with which they could point, push a button, and get an image. ~ Thomas Roma

is to read things that are not yet on the page. Edwin Land of Polaroid talked about the intersection of the humanities and science. I like that intersection. There's something magical about that place. There are a lot of people innovating, and that's not the main distinction of my career. The reason Apple resonates with people is that there's a deep current of humanity in our innovation. I think great artists and great engineers are similar, in that they both have a desire to express themselves. In fact some of the best people working on the original Mac were poets and musicians on the side. In the seventies computers became a way for people to express their creativity. Great artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were also great at science. Michelangelo knew a lot about how to quarry stone, not just how to be a sculptor. People pay us to integrate things for them, because they don't have the time to think about this stuff 24/7. If you have an extreme passion for producing ~ Walter Isaacson

One of the critical skills in creative work is note-taking. Practically all the great geniuses of our culture, ranging from Leonardo to Edison, from Hemingway to Picasso, have been almost pathological note-takers. ~ Lauri Jarvilehto

God sells us all things at the price of labor. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci
