Quote

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.

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
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
Desire urges me on, while fear bridals me.
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
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
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 stars in the sky are really other suns like our own, around which orbit other planets. (paraphrase)
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
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
Perhaps your fear in passing judgement is greater than mine in receiving it.
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
The hammers must be swung in cadence, when more than one is hammering the iron.
Giordano Bruno
Image
The gems of philosophy are not less precious because they are not understood.
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
The Divine Light is always in man, presenting itself to the senses and to the comprehension, but man rejects it.
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
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
Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.
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
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
