“The light for drawing from nature should come from the North in order that it may not vary. And if you have it from the South, keep the window screened with cloth, so that with the sun shining the whole day the light may not vary. The height of the light so arranged as that every object shall cast a shadow on the ground of the same length as itself.” IfsShouldMayWholeLightOrderSunObjectsShadowWindowShiningSouthCastsDrawingHeightLengthVary Book:The notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci Source: The notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci
“Loneliness... has very little to do with location. It's a state of mind. In the centre of every city are some of the loneliest people in the world... because our whole planet was just outside the window, I felt even more... connected to the seven billion other people.” PeopleWorldMindLittlesStatesWholeEarthFeltCitiesLonelinessPlanetsWindowSevenConnectedBillionsState Of MindLocationCentre Author:Chris Hadfield
“I stared out the window the whole way, because it was raining, which is how I like the city best. It looks like it's been polished up. All the streets shine and lights from everywhere reflect off the black. It's like the whole place has been dipped in sugar syrup. Like the city is some kind of big candy apple.” WayLooksKindHas BeensWholeBigsLightBlackCitiesStreetsRainWindowShiningApplesSugarCandyPolishedSyrup Book:Tell the Wolves I'm Home Source: Tell the Wolves I'm Home

“I want our nation to take responsibility to make sure that every single child can look out the window in the morning and see a whole community getting up and going to work.

“There's a tolerance and this is a really big thing when it comes to really increasing the whole sense of getting something done and boosting the economy. Obviously not everything is going to be a bonanza, some things are going to be awful, but wouldn't it be great if we had a fantastic window dresser to do something with those windows on Fairfield green and those Victoria's Secret windows. I love girls in bras in panties, but these are just mannequins. Wouldn't it be great if some local artists got together and said, "Hey, Victoria's Secret, let's do something!"

“It's a fine balance between design and the thing making itself happen. The stroke has to have complete precision to work. Sometimes I lose it on the exit. You can't fudge it. It ruins the whole thing.” The resulting figures are almost always contained within the rectangle. “It's less of a window if I keep it within the confines of the canvas, but there's almost always a drip that's an umbilical cord.” IfsSometimesWholeHappensLosesFiguresDesignFineBalanceWindowRuinsCanvasStrokesExitPrecisionCordsFudgeUmbilical CordRectangles Author:James Nares
