From The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy, by Jacob BurckhardtASTROLOGERS
"Now and then, when the stars send them too cruel a message, they manage to brace themselves up, act for themselves, and say boldly: 'Vir sapiens dominabitur astris' -- the wise man is master of the stars -- and then again relapse into the old delusion."
From Influence of Ancient Superstition
