Galileo

Gawking is not seeing. (49)

Because we are like the worms who are little and have dim eyes and can hardly see the stars at all, and the new astronomy is a framework of guesses or very little more--yet. (50)

We are aware that there are phenomena which are beyond us, but man can't expect to understand everything. (72)

It is not given to man to know the truth: it is granted to him to seek after the truth. (79)

Beaten humanity can lift its head. A man has stood up and said No. (113)

"Unhappy is the land that breeds no hero."
"Unhappy is the land that needs a hero." (115)

This age of ours turned out to be a whore, spattered with blood. Maybe, new ages look like blood-spattered whores. (124)
