“On admettra enfin que le soleil lui-même occupe le centre du monde. Toutes ces choses, c'est la loi de l'ordre dans lequel elles se suivent les unes les autres, ainsi que l'harmonie du monde, qui nous les enseigne, pourvu seulement que nous regardions les choses elles-mêmes pour ainsi dire des deux yeux.”
Ipse denique sol medium mundi putabitur possidere, quae omnia ratio ordinis, quo illa sibi invicem succedunt, et mundi totius harmonia nos docet, si modo rem ipsam ambobus (ut aiunt) oculis inspiciamus

De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (1543)
Source: Le soleil n'occupe pas le centre des mouvements planétaires (pas même le centre des mouvements de la terre) mais le centre de l'Univers, c'est-à-dire, le centre de la sphère des fixes. Le rôle du soleil, dans le système de Copernic est uniquement optique. Il éclaire le monde. Il ne fait pas mouvoir les planètes.

Prose, Dolman le maléfique, 1961


To take an example, therefore, from a very trifling manufacture; but one in which the division of labour has been very often taken notice of, the trade of the pin-maker; a workman not educated to this business (which the division of labour has rendered a distinct trade), nor acquainted with the use of the machinery employed in it (to the invention of which the same division of labour has probably given occasion), could scarce, perhaps, with his utmost industry, make one pin in a day, and certainly could not make twenty. But in the way in which this business is now carried on, not only the whole work is a peculiar trade, but it is divided into a number of branches, of which the greater part are likewise peculiar trades. One man draws out the wire, another straights it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, a fifth grinds it at the top for receiving, the head; to make the head requires two or three distinct operations; to put it on is a peculiar business, to whiten the pins is another; it is even a trade by itself to put them into the paper; and the important business of making a pin is, in this manner, divided into about eighteen distinct operations, which, in some manufactories, are all performed by distinct hands, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them. I have seen a small manufactory of this kind where ten men only were employed, and where some of them consequently performed two or three distinct operations. But though they were very poor, and therefore but indifferently accommodated with the necessary machinery, they could, when they exerted themselves, make among them about twelve pounds of pins in a day. There are in a pound upwards of four thousand pins of a middling size. Those ten persons, therefore, could make among them upwards of forty-eight thousand pins in a day. Each person, therefore, making a tenth part of forty-eight thousand pins, might be considered as making four thousand eight hundred pins in a day. But if they had all wrought separately and independently, and without any of them having been educated to this peculiar business, they certainly could not each of them have made twenty, perhaps not one pin in a day; that is, certainly, not the two hundred and fortieth, perhaps not the four thousand eight hundredth part of what they are at present capable of performing, in consequence of a proper division and combination of their different operations.

“Ce que l'on mérite et ce que l'on obtient sont souvent deux choses tout à fait différentes.”

[...] we have always had (secret, secret, close the doors!) we have always have had a great deal of difficulty in understanding the world view that quantum mechanics represents. At least I do, because I'm an old enough man that I haven't got to the point that this stuff is obvious to me. Okay, I still get nervous with it. And therefore, some of the youngest students...you know how it always is, every new idea, it takes a generation or two until it becomes obvious that there's no real problem. It has not yet become obvious to me that there is no real problem. I cannot define the real problem, therefore I suspect there's no real problem, but I'm not sure there's no real problem.
