Danish Astronomer Quotes

Tycho Brahe

Thorvald N. Thiele

An isolated sensation teaches us nothing, for it does not amount to an observation. Observation is a putting together of several results of sensation which are or are supposed to be connected with each other according to the law of causality, so that some represent causes and others their effects.

Thorvald N. Thiele

Oh thick wits. Oh blind watchers of the sky.

In Latin: O crassia ingenia, O coecos coeli spectatores.
