All These Worlds Are Yours

"Is the dwelling place of God anywhere but in the earth and sea, the air and sky, and virtue? Why seek we further for deities? Whatever you see, whatever you touch, that is Jupiter."

--Lucan, Pharsalia, Book IX
(circa 61-65 A.D.)

"[Human reason] freed men's minds from wondering at portents by wresting from Jupiter his bolts and power of thunder, and ascribing to the winds the noise and to the clouds the flame."

--Marcus Manilius, Astronomica, Book I
First century A.D.

SAL-9000: Will I dream?
Dr. Chandra: Of course you will. All intelligent beings dream. Nobody knows why.

--2010, Arthur C. Clarke and Peter Hyams
