Leonardo da Vinci Perception Quotations

The senses are of the earth, the reason stands apart from them in contemplation.

All our knowledge hast its origins in our perceptions … In nature there is no effect without a cause … Experience never errs; it is only your judgments that err by promising themselves effects such as are not caused by your experiments … Science is the observation of things possible, whether present or past; prescience is the knowledge of things which may come to pass.

The organ of perception acts more readily than judgment.

All our knowledge is the offspring of our perceptions.
