More from Nicolaus Copernicus
"For the universe, wrought for us by a supremely good and orderly Creator, is from the very start constructed with the very best and most beautiful design."
"For it is manifest that the movements of the planets are not uniform, but sometimes faster, sometimes slower, sometimes direct, sometimes retrograde."
"To attribute the motion of the earth to the sun is as absurd as to attribute the motion of the sun to the earth."
"The sphere of the fixed stars is immovable and embraces all things."
"In the middle of all sits the Sun enthroned. In this most beautiful temple, could we place this luminary in any better position from which he can illuminate the whole at once?"
