More quotes by Giordano Bruno

Image
There is in the universe neither center nor circumference.
Giordano Bruno
Image
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
Image
What you receive from others is a testimony to their virtue but all that you do for others is the sign and clear indication of your own.
Giordano Bruno
Image
With luck on your side, you can do without brains.
Giordano Bruno
Image
I fought, and therefore, believed in my victory. There is more to the fact that I didn't fear death and preferred a brave death instead of a life of an idiot.
Giordano Bruno
Image
What can be more stupid than to be in pain about future things and absent ones which at present are not felt?
Giordano Bruno
Image
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
Image
We delight in one knowable thing, which comprehends all that is knowable in one apprehensible, which draws together all that can be apprehended in a single being that includes all, above all in the one which is itself the all.
Giordano Bruno
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Perhaps your fear in passing judgement is greater than mine in receiving it.
Giordano Bruno
Image
Divinity reveals herself in all things. Everything has Divinity latent within itself. For she enfolds and imparts herself even unto the smallest beings, and from the smallest beings, according to their capacity. Without her presence nothing would have being, because she is the essence of the existence of the first unto the last being.
Giordano Bruno
Image
Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.
Giordano Bruno
Image
The gems of philosophy are not less precious because they are not understood.
Giordano Bruno
Image
I await your sentence with less fear than you pass it. The time will come when all will see what I see.
Giordano Bruno
Image
In this infinite space is placed our universe (whether by chance, by necessity, or by providence I do not now consider).
Giordano Bruno
Image
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
Image
The stars in the sky are really other suns like our own, around which orbit other planets. (paraphrase)
Giordano Bruno
Image
The soul is not the body and it may be in one body or in another, and pass from body to body.
