More quotes by Giordano Bruno
Desire urges me on, while fear bridals me.
Giordano Bruno
Since I have spread my wings to purpose high, The more beneath my feet the clouds I see, The more I give the winds my pinions free, Spurning the earth and soaring to the sky.
Giordano Bruno
I pray you, magnificent Sir, do not trouble yourself to return to us, but await our coming to you.
Giordano Bruno
I do not know when, but I know that many have come in this century to develop arts and sciences, sow the seeds of a new culture that will flourish, unexpected, sudden, just when the power is deluded into believing they have won.
Giordano Bruno
Perhaps your fear in passing judgement is greater than mine in receiving it.
Giordano Bruno
In this infinite space is placed our universe (whether by chance, by necessity, or by providence I do not now consider).
Giordano Bruno
Everything that makes diversity of kinds, of species, differences, properties... everything that consists in generation, decay, alteration and change is not an entity, but a condition and circumstance of entity and being, which is one, infinite, immobile, subject, matter, life, death, truth, lies, good and evil.
Giordano Bruno
Innumerable suns exist innumerable earths revolve around these suns in a manner similar to the way the seven planets revolve around our sun. Living beings inhabit these worlds.
Giordano Bruno
Our bodily eye findeth never an end, but is vanquished by the immensity of space.
Giordano Bruno
Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.
Giordano Bruno
I don't care if 1 is prime or not, if 2 is prime or not, if 3 is prime or not. All I care is that there are more stars in the heavens than primes in the earth.
Giordano Bruno
I have held and hold souls to be immortal.... Speaking as a Catholic, they do not pass from body to body, but go to paradise, purgatory or hell. But I have reasoned deeply, and, speaking as a philosopher, since the soul is not found without body and yet is not body, it may be in one body or in another, and pass from body to body.
Giordano Bruno
The stars in the sky are really other suns like our own, around which orbit other planets. (paraphrase)
Giordano Bruno
With luck on your side, you can do without brains.
Giordano Bruno
The gems of philosophy are not less precious because they are not understood.
Giordano Bruno
In space there are countless constellations, suns and planets we see only the suns because they give light the planets remain invisible, for they are small and dark. There are also numberless earths circling around their suns.
Giordano Bruno
When we consider the being and substance of that universe in which we are immutably set, we shall discover that neither we ourselves nor any substance doth suffer death. For nothing is in fact diminished in its substance, but all things, wandering through infinite space, undergo change of aspect.
Giordano Bruno
Divine love does not weigh down, nor carry his servant captive and enslaved to the lowest depths, but raises him, supports him and magnifies him above all liberty whatsoever.
Giordano Bruno
I cleave the heavens and soar to the infinite. And while I rise from my own globe to others and penetrate ever further through the eternal field. That which others saw from afar, I leave far behind me.
Giordano Bruno
The hammers must be swung in cadence, when more than one is hammering the iron.
Giordano Bruno
