Yes, it was Gallileo. He had had to retract what he'd said about the earth moving round the sun because the Church said the sun moved round the earth.
After he had made the statement and was walking out of the room he was heard to mutter, 'eppur si muove' - still, it moves.

Gallileo Gallilei, the famous Italian astronomer
was accused of heretism when he said the earth was moving around the sun. So he had to revoke. When he was led away from court, he muttered these words:
And yet, it moves

Was it "It still moves", from Galileo talking about the Earth after being "questioned" by the inquisition?
