Image
Desire urges me on, while fear bridals me.
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.
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
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
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
The Divine Light is always in man, presenting itself to the senses and to the comprehension, but man rejects it.
Giordano Bruno
Image
Our bodily eye findeth never an end, but is vanquished by the immensity of space.
Giordano Bruno
Image
There is in the universe neither center nor circumference.
Giordano Bruno
Image
The stars in the sky are really other suns like our own, around which orbit other planets. (paraphrase)
Giordano Bruno
Image
Time takes all and gives 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
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
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 hammers must be swung in cadence, when more than one is hammering the iron.
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
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
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).

With luck on your side, you can do without brains.
