QotD
From the
Quotation of the day mailing list, 2009-12-29:
"I know that I am mortal and the creature of a day; but when I
search out the massed wheeling circles of the stars, my feet no
longer touch the earth, but, side by side with Zeus himself, I
take my fill of ambrosia, the food of the gods." -- Claudius
Ptolemy, astronomer, from his Mathematical Syntaxis, also known as
the Almagest (c. 150 AD). (submitted to the mailing
list by Terry Labach)</p>
[Unrelated to today's quote: nine years ago today,
my life got
considerably fuzzier.]
