Quotation from: The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci

OF THE HUMAN FIGURE.
Which is the part in man, which, as he grows fatter, never gains
flesh?
Or what part which as a man grows lean never falls away with a too
perceptible diminution? And among the parts which grow fat which is
that which grows fattest?
Among those which grow lean which is that which grows leanest?
In very strong men which are the muscles which are thickest and most
prominent?
