"The true and best way of learning any Art, is not to see a great many Examples done by another Person, but to possess ones self first of the Principles of it, and then to make them familiar, by exercising ones self in the Practice. For it is Practice alone, that makes a Man perfect in any thing."
New Principles of Linear Perspective (1715, 1749)
~Brook Taylor (18 August 1685 – 29 December 1731)
