Nicolaus Copernicus Quotes
Among the authorities it is generally agreed that the Earth is at rest in the middle of the universe, and they regard it as inconceivable and even ridiculous to hold the opposite opinion.

For every apparent change in respect of position is due to motion of the object observed, or of the observer, or indeed to an unequal change of both.Nicolaus Copernicus
