Quote of the day by Leonardo da Vinci: 'Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in'

Leonardo da Vincis reflection, Study without desire spoils the memory, anchors a gentle exploration of why genuine curiosity matters more than obligation in learning. Vinci explains how interest strengthens memory, while routine, pressure driven study leads to shallow understanding. It also traces Leonardos genius across art, science and invention to show why his words hold lasting weight. Ultimately, it urges readers to rediscover the joy of wanting to learn, not just needing to.
