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
With luck on your side, you can do without brains.
Giordano Bruno
Image
The hammers must be swung in cadence, when more than one is hammering the iron.
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 pray you, magnificent Sir, do not trouble yourself to return to us, but await our coming to you.
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
Make then your forecasts, my lords Astrologers, with your slavish physicians, by means of those astrolabes with which you seek to discern the fantastic nine moving spheres in these you finally imprison your own minds, so that you appear to me but as parrots in a cage, while I watch you dancing up and down, turning and hopping within those circles.
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
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
Image
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
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
I have declared infinite worlds to exist beside this our earth. It would not be worthy of God to manifest Himself in less than an infinite universe.
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
Those wise men knew God to be in things, and Divinity to be latent in Nature, working and glowing differently in different subjects and succeeding through diverse physical forms, in certain arrangements, in making them participants in her, I say, in her being, in her life and intellect.
Giordano Bruno
Image
Perhaps your fear in passing judgement is greater than mine in receiving it.
Giordano Bruno
Image
The gems of philosophy are not less precious because they are not understood.
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
Time takes all and gives all
Giordano Bruno
Image
The Divine Light is always in man, presenting itself to the senses and to the comprehension, but man rejects it.
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
