“He who draws... ought to take his position so that the eye of the figure he is drawing is on a level with his own... because, generally, figures or people whom you meet in the streets all have their eyes at the same level as yours, and if you make them higher or lower you will find that your portrait will not resemble them.” PeopleIfsEyeLevelsStreetsFiguresPositionOughtHigherModelsDrawsDrawingPortraits Book:The notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci Source: The notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci
“I work on two levels. I occupy my conscious mind with things to do, lines to draw, movements to organize, rhythms to invent. In fact, I keep myself occupied.

“I don't want to name names because I don't want to draw too many direct comparisons but the history of Fascism is populated by people who need to subjugate other people and elevate their status and power to a level which is supreme.

“[D]rawing up 'secret war plans' for a possible attack on Iraq wasn't irrational. The low-level war against Saddam was 12 years old, with no end in sight. American and British pilots were getting shot at, sanctions weren't working, and Bush was getting warnings that Saddam had all those terrible weapons and would use them against America. Bush would have been a fool not to draw up plans. Gee, wait till the critics find out that FDR, without ever informing the media, was plotting to fight Japan and Germany before Pearl Harbor.” YearsHas BeensWarEndsUseAmericaFightingWaitingLevelsSecretPlansMediaFoolTerribleWeaponsLowsDrawsShotsSightCriticsIraqBritishGermanyJapanWarningPilotsIrrationalPearlsSaddamHarborsSanctionsLow LevelInformingWar Plans Author:John Leo

“I think that everything in the world around us is a reflection of what is going on inside of us. So each of us as an individual creates a life - we draw to us certain people and events and circumstances that reflect what's going on inside of us, so we can literally look at our life and see a mirror of our own consciousness. And if that's true on an individual level, it's also true that what's going on in the world in a bigger way is a reflection of the collective consciousness.” PeopleIfsThinkingWorldWayLooksCertainIndividualLevelsConsciousnessOur LivesEventsCircumstancesDrawsReflectionBiggerMirrorsCollectivesCollective Consciousness Author:Shakti Gawain
