Beware of common sense
Sun & moon look the same size
Galileo said Earth circles the sun
Described wine as air bound by light
Aristotle saw heavenly bodies as perfect
Earth as imperfect, at rest
Nature is inexorable and mutable
Poet Saimonedes tells Hiero
Don’t be selfish, do for the people and city
You will be praised and honored and loved
We are informed in On Tyranny
You must submit to vulgarity
Or cease to be the First Minister
Lady Glencora told Plantagenet Palliser
Try to co-exist with the hornets
Our business is with life, not death,
The challenge is to give what account
We can of what becomes of life
In the solar system, this corner of the Universe
That is our home, and, most of all,
What becomes of us, George Wald wrote
