Gravity is a mutual affection between cognate bodies towards union or conjunction (similar in kind to the magnetic virtue), so that the earth attracts a stone much rather than the stone seeks the earth.
Johannes Kepler
Image
In theology we must consider the predominance of authority in philosophy the predominance of reason.
Johannes Kepler
Image
The Earth is round, and is inhabited on all sides, is insignificantly small, and is borne through the stars.
