Image
The soul is not the body and it may be in one body or in another, and pass from body to body.
Giordano Bruno
Image
It may be you fear more to deliver judgment upon me than I fear judgment.
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
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
With luck on your side, you can do without brains.
Giordano Bruno
Image
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
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.

All things are in all.
Giordano Bruno
Image
The infinity of All ever bringing forth anew, and even as infinite space is around us, so is infinite potentiality, capacity, reception, malleability, matter.
Giordano Bruno
Image
The stars in the sky are really other suns like our own, around which orbit other planets. (paraphrase)
Giordano Bruno

Time takes all and gives all
Giordano Bruno

I who am in the night will move into the day.
Giordano Bruno

Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.
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
The hammers must be swung in cadence, when more than one is hammering the iron.
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
Perhaps your fear in passing judgement is greater than mine in receiving it.
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
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.
