Copernican Theory I hold that the Sun is located at the centre of the revolutions of the heavenly orbs and does not change place, and that the Earth rotates on itself and moves around it.

Opere Il Saggiatore p. 171. I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect intended us to forgo their use. Quoted in Des MacHale, Wisdom (London, 2002). I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him. All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
