![Oh, my dear Kepler, how I wish that we could have one hearty laugh together. Here, at Padua, is the principal professor of philosophy, whom I have repeatedly and urgently requested to look at the moon and planets through my glass, [telescope] which he pertinaciously refuses to do. Why are you not here? what shouts of laughter we should have at this glorious folly! and to hear the professor of philosophy at Pisa laboring before the grand duke with logical arguments, as if with magical incantations, to charm the new planets out of the sky.](/assets/img/quote-photos/oh-my-dear-kepler-how-i-wish-that-we-could-have-one-hearty-laugh-together-here.jpg)

philosophy mistake farewell
Walking and talking are two very great pleasures, but it is a mistake to combine them.

The only friend to walk with is one who so exactly shares your taste for each mood of the countryside that a glance, a halt, or at most a nudge, is enough to assure us that the pleasure is shared. C. S. Lewis
