Astronomy Quotations
Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy the mad daughter of a wise mother. These daughters have too long dominated the earth. Voltaire It is clear to everyone that astronomy at all events compels the soul to look upwards, and draws it from the things of this world to the other. Plato Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another. Plato Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes. Edsger Dijkstra So far as hypotheses are concerned, let no one expect anything certain from astronomy, which cannot furnish it, lest he accept as the truth ideas conceived for another purpose, and depart from this study a greater fool than when he entered it. Nicolaus Copernicus |
