More From Galileo Galilei
- "In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual."
- "It vexes me when they would constrain science by the authority of the Scriptures, and yet do not consider themselves bound to answer reason and experiment."
- "Facts which at first seem improbable will, even on scant explanation, drop the cloak which has hidden them and stand forth in naked and simple beauty."
