Leonardo da Vinci's diverse talents amaze me naturally, as I find it to be difficult for me to attain mastery in one area, leave alone two.

Intrigued by information about his diverse talents, I browsed Wikipedia for a article on Leonardo da Vinci. One of his views, mentioned in Wikipedia is that he commented "the act of procreation and anything that has any relation to it is so disgusting that human beings would soon die out if there were no pretty faces and sensuous dispositions".

Other than the interesting information about his life and his accomplishments in various fields, this statement by him got my attention. I started pondering over his words. Evidently, I  admire the philosophical outlook of Leonardo from this statement and it sure has helped in my self analysis!. 

Thanks to Wikipedia for the article and the portrait of Leonardo (he himself painted ).
