I understand Being in all and over all, as there is nothing without participation in Being, and there is no being without Essence. Thus nothing can be free of the Divine Presence.

Giordano Bruno

Our bodily eye findeth never an end, but is vanquished by the immensity of space.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Body But End Eye Immensity Space Vanquished
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

The being is altered, the fortune is varied, only the elements remaining what they are in substance, that same principle persevering which was always the one material principle, which is the true substance of things, eternal, ingenerable and incorruptible.
GIORDANO BRUNO

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.

There is no absolute up or down, as Aristotle taught; no absolute position in space; but the position of a body is relative to that of other bodies.
GIORDANO BRUNO

The single spirit doth simultaneously temper the whole together; this is the single soul of all things; all are filled with God .
GIORDANO BRUNO
