3 Quotes from Brecht

1. "The millennium of faith is ended, said I, this is the millennium of doubt.  And we are pulling out of that contraption.  The sayings of the wise men won't wash any more.  Everybody, at last, is getting nosy.  I predict that in our time astronomy will become the gossip of the market place and the sons of fishwives will pack the schools." -Galileo (p. 49)

2. "My good man--the Almighty would have endowed us with brains like that--so that we could grasp the movements like that.  I believe in the brain." -Galileo (p. 78)

3. "Mr. Galilei is therefore an enemy of mankind and must be dealt with as such.  Is it conceivable that God would trust this most precious fruit of His labor to a minor, frolicking star?" --Old Cardinal (p. 73)

I might change these depending on what I read in the letter... but it's a first draft possibilities.
