Johannes Kepler Quotes About Eyes

Quotes about: Eyes

• It is a right, yes a duty, to search in cautious manner for the numbers, sizes, and weights, the norms for everything [God] has created. For He himself has let man take part in the knowledge of these things ... For these secrets are not of the kind whose research should be forbidden; rather they are set before our eyes like a mirror so that by examining them we observe to some extent the goodness and wisdom of the Creator.

  Johannes Kepler

  Knowledge, Eye, Science

• Just as the eye was made to see colours, and the ear to hear sounds, so the human mind was made to understand, not whatever you please, but quantity.

  Johannes Kepler

  Eye, Mind, Sound

  "The Metaphysical Foundations of Modern Physical Science". Book by Edwin Arthur Burtt, 1925.

• Why waste words? Geometry existed before the Creation, is co-eternal with the mind of God, is God himself (what exists in God that is not God himself?): geometry provided God with a model for the Creation and was implanted into man, together with God's own likeness - and not merely conveyed to his mind through the eyes.

  Johannes Kepler

  Eye, Men, History

• Geometry, which before the origin of things was coeternal with the divine mind and is God himself (for what could there be in God which would not be God himself?), supplied God with patterns for the creation of the world, and passed over to Man along with the image of God; and was not in fact taken in through the eyes.

  Johannes Kepler

  God, Taken, Eye
