"Many friends, while asking me questions related sometimes slip into astrology. Quite honestly, I have never really understood the reason behind the great importance attached by people to the faraway planets in our solar system. As an art, I have nothing against astrology, but if it seeks acceptance under the guise of science, I reject it.

The highly complicated calculations manipulated the precise movements of celestial bodies, to derive highly subjective conclusions appear illogical to me. As I see it, the Earth is the most powerful and energetic planet. As John Milton puts it so beautifully
Paradise Lost, Book VIII:

Be centre to the World, and other stars. ... .
The planet earth, so steadfast though she seem, In sensibly three different motions move?"
