EVERYTHING that is in motion must be moved by something. For if it has not the source of its motion in itself it is evident that it is moved by something other than itself, for there must be something else that moves it. If on the other hand it has the source of its motion in itself, let AB be taken to represent that which is in motion essentially of itself and not in virtue of the fact that something belonging to it is in motion. Now in the first place to assume that AB, because it is in motion as a whole and is not moved by anything external to itself, is therefore moved by itself-this is just as if, supposing that KL is moving LM and is also itself in motion, we were to deny that KM is moved by anything on the ground that it is not evident which is the part that is moving it and which the part that is moved. In the second place that which is in motion without being moved by anything does not necessarily cease from its motion because something else is at rest, but a thing must be moved by something if the fact of something else having ceased from its motion causes it to be at rest. Thus, if this is accepted, everything that is in motion must be moved by something. For AB, which has been taken to represent that which is in motion, must be divisible since everything that is in motion is divisible. Let it be divided, then, at G. Now if GB is not in motion, then AB will not be in motion: for if it is, it is clear that AG would be in motion while BG is at rest, and thus AB cannot be in motion essentially and primarily. But ex hypothesi AB is in motion essentially and primarily. Therefore if GB is not in motion AB will be at rest. But we have agreed that that which is at rest if something else is not in motion must be moved by something. Consequently, everything that is in motion must be moved by something: for that which is in motion will always be divisible, and if a part of it is not in motion the whole must be at rest.

克里姆林宫的枢机主教（汤姆·克兰西军事系列）
《克里姆林宫的枢机主教》是《猎杀“红十月”号》的续篇，汤姆·克兰西“杰克·瑞安”系列的又一力作。故事在二十世纪八十年代美苏两国争夺星球大战计划和高科技武器优势的背景下，围绕步步紧逼的追捕和骇人听闻的审讯，以及政治阴谋、情报刺探等内容展开。当苏联发展能够在太空轨道中摧毁宇宙空间站的激光武器时，美国中央情报局遂特别动用“枢机主教”来收集“亮星”工程的绝密情报。“枢机主教”潜伏在克里姆林宫已长达三十余年，从未遭到苏联反间谍机构的怀疑，不料此次马失前蹄，落入克格勃之手。为实施营救计划，杰克·瑞安只身深入虎穴，亮出“红十月”号这一杀手锏，逼使克格勃主席救出“枢机主教”叛逃。与此同时，对苏联怀有国仇家恨的阿富汗游击队在美国的支持下，袭击“亮星”工程的实验基地；克格勃渗透进美国研制激光武器系统的“运茶快船”工程，绑架负责该项目的工程师……中情局和克格勃围绕激光武器与导弹防御系统展开了一场惊心动魄的间谍战。从阿富汗山区到新墨西哥高原，从华盛顿到莫斯科，世界和平就掌握在克里姆林宫的“枢机主教”手中。
