Either... the moving intelligences of the planets are weakest in those that are farthest from the sun, or... there is one moving intelligence in the sun, the common center, forcing them all round, but those most violently which are nearest, and that it languishes in some sort and grows weaker at the most distant, because of the remoteness and the attenuation of the virtue.

My self has been moving away from me. Today it is my farthest you.
Antonio Porchia
Take movement for example. Forces acting up, down, or from side to side. You make theories to explain it all, but you might well remember that it was you that invented them all. For Mach there was no reason to believe the rest of the cosmos was doing what your little bit was doing, so science should only describe not try to explain. Even description is relative. Am I moving or is the back ground? Or take the position of a star. It depends on the position you see it from, which depends on the date and time, which in turn depends on the position of the earth, in a solar orbit, in a solar system, moving around the edge of a Galaxy which may be moving away from other Galaxies. Say that you've decided that I'm moving and the background is standing still. Is the background moving relative to something else?
James (science historian) Burke
I lost a few goddesses while moving south to north
and also some gods while moving east to west.Wislawa Szymborska
Another ditch in the road, you keep moving. Another stopsign, you keep moving on. The years go by so fast. Wonder how I ever made it through.
Savage Garden
For us humanity was a distant goal toward which all men were moving, whose image no one knew, whose laws were nowhere written down.
