Cu desenele autoarei / Introducere de Rea Berg / Traducere de Cristian Negoiță „Sunt Galileo Galilei din Pisa. Încă de mic, mintea mi-a fost cuprinsă de întrebări la care nu se mai gândise nimeni. Am studiat științele, am predat la universitate, am născocit o mulțime de obiecte folositoare. Am inventat telescopul, am perfecționat microscopul, termometrul, ceasurile, busolele și multe altele. Am demonstrat că Pământul se învârte în jurul Soare¬lui, atrăgându-mi astfel mânia multora din vremea mea. Dar nu m-am dat bătut. Întotdeauna am știut că numai cercetând și experimentând putem ajunge la adevăr.“
