Entrar para revisão“Sei que sou mortal por natureza e efêmero, mas quando tracei, a meu bel-prazer, os enrolamentos de um lado para o outro dos corpos celestes, não toco mais a terra com os pés. Eu fico na presença do próprio Zeus e tomo o meu preenchimento de ambrosia.”
Original
I know that I am mortal by nature and ephemeral, but when I trace at my pleasure the windings to and fro of the heavenly bodies, I no longer touch earth with my feet. I stand in the presence of Zeus himself and take my fill of ambrosia.
In some of the manuscripts, the books begins with this epigram (Owen Gingerich, The Eye of Heaven: Ptolemy, Copernicus, Kepler, American Institute of Physics, 1993, p. 55).

“Cigarros são a forma perfeita de prazer: são efémeros e deixam-nos insaciados.”
