When The Moon Is Ninety Degrees Away

We See Only The Simple Motion Of Descent, Since That Other Circular One Common To The Earth, The Tower, And Ourselves Remains Imperceptible. There Remains Perceptible To Us Only That Of The Stone, Which Is Not Shared By Us; And, Because Of This, Sense Shows It As By A Straight Line, Always Parallel To The Tower, Which Is Built Upright And Perpendicular Upon The Terrestrial Surface.

Nothing Occurs Contrary To Nature Except The Impossible, And That Never Occurs.

Holy Scripture Could Never Lie Or Err...its Decrees Are Of Absolute And Inviolable Truth.

But Some, Besides Allegiance To Their Original Error, Possess I Know Not What Fanciful Interest In Remaining Hostile Not So Much Toward The Things In Question As Toward Their Discoverer.

One Can Understand Nature Only When One Has Learned The Language And The Signs In Which It Speaks To Us; But This Language Is Mathematics And These Signs Are Methematical Figures.
