"The wind which passes through the skins of animals will make men leap up:—That is the bagpipes, which cause men to dance."
"It is always the under side of the branches of any plant that show themselves to the wind which strikes it, and one leans against the other."
"A bird makes the same use of wings and tail in the air as a swimmer does of his arms and legs in the water."
"The function which the wing performs against the air when the air is motionless is the same as that of the air moved against the wings when these are without motion."
"Drawings of Leonardo Da Vinci"
"Wine is good, but water is preferable at table."
"Remember that your bird should have no other model than the bat, because its membranes serve as an armour or rather as a means of building together the pieces of its armour, that is the framework of the wings."
"Every body that is moved continues to move so long as the impression of the force of its mover is retained in it, therefore the movement of this wing with violence... will come to move the whole bird with it until the impetus of the moved air has been consumed."
