Where the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art. (Leonardo da Vinci) Ko te tokitope, ko te whao ngau, he tohu mauri Ko te tātaki kawai he whakaara wairua Ko te taumata atua, takaia ki te koroawai parirau E hikina ai i tōna taongatanga ki te matakite, ki te rangatiratanga (Ngā Toi i roto i te Marautanga o Aotearoa, 2000)

“Quick, what do you know about Leonardo da Vinci? He painted the Mona Lisa! He wrote his notes backwards! He designed supercool bridges and flying machines! He was a genius about, um… a lot of other… things… and, um, stuff… Okay, I’m sure you know a bit more than that, but unless you’re a Renaissance scholar, you’re certain to find yourself amazed and surprised at how much you didn’t know about the quintessential Renaissance man when you encounter a compilation of his notebooks—Codex Arundel—which has been digitized by the British Library and made available to the public.”http://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/Viewer.aspx?ref=arundel_ms_263_f001r
