Kepler wrote in book five of his work, ''Harmonices Mundi'':{{cquote|O, Almighty God, I am thinking Thy thoughts after Thee! ... The book is written, to be read either now or by posterity, I care not which.  It may be well to wait a century for a reader, as God has waited six thousand years for an observer.}}

Kepler compared the celestial orbits of the planets with polyphonic harmonies in music. He wrote:{{cquote|Holy Father, keep us safe in the concord of our love for one another, that we may be one just as Thou art with Thy Son, Our Lord, and with the Holy Ghost, and just as through the sweetest bonds of harmonies Thou hast made all Thy works one; and that from the bringing of Thy people into concord, the body of Thy Church may be built up in the Earth, as Thou didst erect the heavens themselves out of harmonies.}}
