Lorenzo de' Medici quotes from Da Vinci's Demons

Lorenzo

A clockwork loses its luster once one glimpses the gears beneath its face.

Lorenzo

My brother saw one mad nun and thinks the Devil is at large in Florence.

Lorenzo

[About Isabella] That pan-faced wench wouldn't know art if it sat on her face, which her Friar clearly longs to do.

Lorenzo

I'm also told that you are a trouble-maker, you are arrogant, impolitic, and utterly incapable of keeping your opinions to yourself.

Leonardo

Arrogance implies that I exaggerate my own worth. I don't.

His Magnificence thought it wise to bring a military strategist to the demonstration. In order to better evaluate your work.

Lorenzo

I wish I'd brought a boat.

Lorenzo

Leonardo! Leonardo! Leonaa...Oh so you have the gall to remain in Florence. You're either brave or unimaginably stupid.

Leonardo

It's a bit of both.

Giuliano

Let's be clear on this: I get no choice in this matter.

Lorenzo

None. Because you are my brother, you get an explanation of why you have no choice.
