27 December: Johannes Kepler quotes

Here are 10 Johannes Kepler quotes. The scientist was born on this date in 1571.

1. Nature uses as little as possible of anything.
2. I demonstrate by means of philosophy that the earth is round, and is inhabited on all sides; that it is insignificantly small, and is borne through the stars.
3. I much prefer the sharpest criticism of a single intelligent man to the thoughtless approval of the masses.
4. Science is the process of thinking God's thoughts after Him.
5. Why are things as they are and not otherwise?
6. Once miracles are admitted, every scientific explanation is out of the question.
7. When ships to sail the void between the stars have been built, there will step forth men to sail these ships.
8. We do not ask for what useful purpose the birds do sing, for song is their pleasure since they were created for singing. Similarly, we ought not to ask why the human mind troubles to fathom the secrets of the heavens.
9. The Earth is round, and is inhabited on all sides, is insignificantly small, and is borne through the stars.
10. The diversity of the phenomena of nature is so great, and the treasures hidden in the heavens so rich, precisely in order that the human mind shall never be lacking in fresh nourishment.

The Power of Love

Willow believes in crystal healing, cosmic  ordering  and the significance of chance  encounters. She believes there's a spiritual  explanation for everything. Except she struggles to find a reason why she can turn herself into  mist and create a wave of energy which can slam a would-be mugger into a wall. Or why the love of  her life left her for a mysterious woman in sunglasses, who then disappeared without trace.  

A chance encounter with Firebolt, leader of the Freedom League superhero team, in a Glastonbury coffee shop, does turn out to be significant. He offers her a new start and the chance to use her powers for good.

Servant is a Christian who has joined the Freedom League in order to use his teleporting power to serve God. He and Willow clash from the start, yet they are drawn inexorably to one another.

When Willow leaves the team abruptly for reasons unknown, Servant knows he must put her out of his mind and find a nice Christian girl to settle down with. He is about to propose to devout and straight-laced Ruth, when Willow returns and turns his entire world upside down.
