More from Nicolaus Copernicus
"Therefore, we should not be surprised if the earth moves, for it is a planet, and all planets move."
"I am aware that I have made myself liable to be laughed at by those who consider it an absurdity to suppose that the earth moves."
"For the motion which appears to us in the heavens is not in the heavens themselves, but in the earth."
"For the mind, which is created in the image of God, is capable of understanding the divine order of the universe."
"And so, in the first book, I describe the earth's general position and its various motions, and then I pass to the other planets, showing how their motions are related to the earth's."
