Galileo Galilei citáty a výroky
„Teprve smrtí dogmatu rodí se věda.“
[Lunární kalendář, Krásná paní, Praha, 2020, 53, 14]
„Matematika je jazyk, kterým Bůh napsal svět.“
(en) Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe.
Prubíř, 1623
Varianta: Filozofie je zapsána do této veliké knihy, tj. vesmíru, který je neustále vystaven našemu pohledu, ale nemůže být pochopen, pokud se nejprve nenaučíme jeho jazyku, v němž je zapsán. Jeho jazykem je jazyk matematiky a jeho znaky jsou trojúhelníky, kruhy a další geometrické obrazce, bez nichž by nebylo možno sestavit byť jediné slovo. Bez těchto znaků a slov vesmírem člověk bloudí jako temným labyrintem. (Prubíř, 1623)

Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems (1632)
In the 1661 translation by Thomas Salusbury: … such are the pure Mathematical sciences, to wit, Geometry and Arithmetick: in which Divine Wisdom knows infinite more propositions, because it knows them all; but I believe that the knowledge of those few comprehended by humane understanding, equalleth the divine, as to the certainty objectivè, for that it arriveth to comprehend the necessity thereof, than which there can be no greater certainty." p. 92 (from the Archimedes Project http://archimedes.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/cgi-bin/toc/toc.cgi?page=92;dir=galil_syste_065_en_1661;step=textonly)
In the original Italian: … tali sono le scienze matematiche pure, cioè la geometria e l’aritmetica, delle quali l’intelletto divino ne sa bene infinite proposizioni di piú, perché le sa tutte, ma di quelle poche intese dall’intelletto umano credo che la cognizione agguagli la divina nella certezza obiettiva, poiché arriva a comprenderne la necessità, sopra la quale non par che possa esser sicurezza maggiore." (from the copy at the Italian Wikisource).
