When any religion or thought or a certain person tries to dominate the world, it will appear in the face of destroying another kind of thought or religion or others.

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.
