    Why does the majestic square always serve as a breeding ground for massacres; barefoot Vichy, an angel of wisdom; there are no miracles, only magic; at the time of life and death, he does not forget to ponder the mysteries of the universe, this is the true intellectual; one powder is worth ten blacks ;The downgraded crowd is like an ant colony; "The obsession with perfection may constrain our minds"; ps's perspective of God overlooking all living...

    The movie is a bit more astronomical, but Hypatia is actually a philosopher in the ancient sense, teaching all kinds of knowledge in ancient academies. Hypatia is the name of an academic journal in the United States, a feminist theoretical journal. The Alexandria Library and Academy suffered from Vandalism and brought me to...

    From this film to Needham and his history of Chinese science and technology

Agora quotes

  • Hypatia: Ever since Plato, all of them - Aristarchus, Hipparchus, Ptolemy - they have all, all, all tried to reconcile their observations with circular orbits. But what if another shape is hiding in the heavens?

    Davus: Another shape? Lady, there is no shape more pure than the circle; you taught us that.

    Hypatia: I know, I know, but suppose - just suppose! - the purity of the circle has blinded us from seeing anything beyond it! I must begin all over with new eyes. I must rethink everything!... What if we dared to look at the world just as it is. Let us shed for a moment every preconceived idea - what shape would it show us?

  • Davus: I was forgiven but now I can't forgive.

    Ammonius: Forgive? Who the Jews?

    Davus: Well Jesus pardoned them on the cross.
