Leonardo da Vinci Quote
The lover is moved by the beloved object as the senses are by sensual objects; and they unite and become one and the same thing. The work is the first thing born of this union; if the thing loved is base the lover becomes base.
The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci (Richter, 1888) - XIX Philosophical Maxims. Morals. Polemics and Speculations.
