More from Nicolaus Copernicus
"Therefore, I think that the earth is not the center of the universe, but rather the sun."
"Therefore, I propose that the earth moves, and that the fixed stars are immovable."
"Thus, the Sun, remaining in one place, illuminates all the planets equally, as if it were a candle placed in the middle of a room."
"For the universe, wrought for us by the best and most orderly Workman of all, is a wonderful work."
"For it is manifest that the movements of the planets are not uniform, but sometimes faster, sometimes slower, sometimes direct, sometimes retrograde."
