Robert Hooke

Cork is composed of small cells.

The world is full of minutiae worth studying.

I have spent my life peering into the small.

Knowledge is power, but observation is the key.

The disputes with Newton cost me dearly.

Let my instruments be used for good.

The pendulum clock is my gift to time.

Wren and I rebuilt London from ashes.

Politics in science is a bitter pill.

I jest that my microscope sees more than my eyes.

The meaning of life is to explore the unknown.

Every object has a hidden beauty.

My last observation: the stars call to us.

Forgive the rivalries of science.

The spring returns to form, as will the soul.

I have mapped the moon's craters.

Jupiter's moons dance in harmony.

Saturn's ring is a wonder.

The barometer predicts the weather.

Huygens' ideas build on mine.
