Johannes Kepler

"Nothing is so powerful as an idea whose time has come. I have discovered what I believe to be the fingerprints of the Creator in the celestial mechanics."

"Geometry is the archetype of the beauty of the world."

"God created the integers, all else is the work of man, but the patterns by which we understand them are written in the heavens."

"I believe the sun is at rest; those who espouse the affirmative side will therefore maintain the doctrine which is true."

"It remains me to search whether the account of nature's workings which are to be drawn from the assumption of the motion of the earth agree with the observations we make."

"Those laws are within us and written upon our hearts, only waiting to be discovered through contemplation."

"The perfection of a human being is the perfection of seeing."

"Time is the image of eternity, and should therefore be used as an oracle."

"I am much occupied with the investigation of the physical causes. My aim in all this is to show that the celestial machine is not so much a divine organism as a divine machine."

"The mind of man is the measure of all things mathematical."

"We are not here by accident. We are here by the design of an intelligent creator."

"The world is geometry, and all material reality expresses the mathematical order of the universe."

"In geometry, every principle has an inner necessity which compels the mind to accept it."

"There is geometry in the humming of the strings, there is music in the spacing of the spheres."

"The investigation of difficult things by the aid of easy things is the method of analysis."

"As the earth has a motion, so must the heavens; I have discovered the laws by which they move."

"Boldly I advance into the boundless void. I am not terrified, for I can never lose my way."

"Every measurement reveals a hidden harmony beneath apparent chaos."

"The capacity to wonder at the natural world is the first step toward understanding it."

"I shall never grow weary of pursuing the truth about creation."

"The celestial motions are nothing but a continuous song for several voices, to be perceived by the intellect, not by the ear."

"Man's understanding mirrors the mind of God when it aligns with mathematical truth."

"In the dance of the planets, we glimpse the choreography of the cosmos."

"The greatest mysteries yield to patient observation and mathematical reasoning."

"I aim not merely to explain the phenomena, but to discover the principles that govern them."

"The order we perceive in nature is not accidental but the expression of divine intelligence."

"Through the telescope and through reason, we approach ever nearer to God's throne."

"Each discovery opens new questions that demand investigation with even greater rigor."

"The universe exhibits a harmony that could only flow from the mind of an intelligent Creator."

"To understand one small part of nature is to glimpse the infinite wisdom of God."
