Psychology.

If any one wishes to see how the soul dwells in its body, let him observe how this body uses its daily habitation; that is to say, if this is devoid of order and confused, the body will be kept in disorder and confusion by its soul.

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