"Sagan in Silesia, in my own printing press,
November 6, 1629:
When the storm rages and the state is threatened
by shipwreck, we can do nothing more noble than to lower the anchor of
our peaceful studies into the ground of eternity."
Johaness Kepler (quoted
in Arthur
Koestler, The Sleepwalkers, Grosset & Dunlap, New
York 1963, p. 422)
