Psychology.

The part always has a tendency to reunite with its whole in order to escape from its imperfection.

The spirit desires to remain with its body, because, without the organic instruments of that body, it can neither act, nor feel anything.

Taken from The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci edited by Jean Paul Richter, 1880.
