Finally we shall place the Sun himself at the center of the Universe. All this is suggested by the systematic procession of events and the harmony of the whole Universe, if only we face the facts, as they say, “with both eyes open.”
Nicolaus Copernicus
For, the sun is not inappropriately called by some people the lantern of the universe, its mind by others, and its ruler by still others.
Nicolaus Copernicus

Nicolaus Copernicus
