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 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
Our bodily eye findeth never an end, but is vanquished by the immensity of space.
Giordano Bruno
Image
It may be you fear more to deliver judgment upon me than I fear judgment.
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
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
The hammers must be swung in cadence, when more than one is hammering the iron.
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
Desire urges me on, while fear bridals me.
Giordano Bruno
Image
There is in the universe neither center nor circumference.
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
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 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
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
Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.
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
Perhaps your fear in passing judgement is greater than mine in receiving it.
Giordano Bruno
Image
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
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
The soul is not the body and it may be in one body or in another, and pass from body to body.
