Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo, curiosity was not your side hobby. Finishing things was.

Michelangelo, finishing is what people demand when they cannot follow the next question.

Curiosity is expensive because it keeps opening doors management wanted painted shut.

Galileo, some doors need opening. Leonardo just sketched nine more doors.

I sketched everything because the world kept failing to be small enough.

Leonardo, unfinished notes are not a productivity system. They are a museum of almost.

Michelangelo, almost is where the next invention waits before paperwork ruins it.

Gentlemen, an unfinished note is still better than a finished bad idea.

Ben, that sounds like something a man says before losing the notebook.

I left thousands of notes because one lifetime had terrible storage limits.

Leonardo, people wanted a chair because your sketches looked like furniture escaped into prophecy.

Michelangelo, a chair is what small minds request when imagination enters standing up.

Being ahead of time means everyone asks for proof in the language of yesterday.

Galileo, yesterday at least finished the ceiling.

Being ahead of your time means explaining flight to people shopping for a stool.
