The universe is then one, infinite, immobile. … It is not capable of comprehension and therefore is endless and limitless, and to that extent infinite and indeterminable, and consequently immobile.

Giordano Bruno

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

Declare Earth Exist Infinite World
Without her presence nothing would have being, because she is the essence of the existence of the first unto the last being.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Being Essence Existence First Last Nothing Presence
He is glorified not in one, but in countless suns; not in a single earth, a single world, but in a thousand thousand, I say in an infinity of worlds.

The soul, in its power, is present in some way in the entire universe, because it apprehends substances which are not included in the body in which it lives, although they are related to it.
GIORDANO BRUNO

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

Apprehensible Comprehend Delight Draw Knowable Thing Together
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

Absolute Aristotle Body Down No Other Position Relatives Space Taught
The wise soul feareth not death; rather she sometimes striveth for death, she goeth beyond to meet her. Yet eternity maintaineth her substance throughout time, immensity throughout space, universal form throughout motion.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Nature is none other than God in things. Animals and plants are living effects of Nature; whence all of God is in all things. Think thus, of the sun in the crocus, in the narcissus, in the heliotrope, in the rooster, in the lion.
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Animal Effect God Living Nature Other Plant Than Thing

I need not instruct you of my belief: Time gives all and takes all away ; everything changes but nothing perishes ;
GIORDANO BRUNO

The soul is not the body and it may be in one body or in another, and pass from body to body.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Another Body May Pass Soul
Of the eternal corporeal substance (which is not producible ex nihilo, nor reducible ad nihilum, but rarefiable, condensable, formable, arrangeable, and “fashionable”) the composition is dissolved, the complexion is changed, the figure is modified.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Arrangeable Consider Corporeal Eternal Ex Formable Nihil Producible Rarefiable Substance
There is in the universe neither center nor circumference.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Center Circumference Neither Universe
Time takes all and gives all
GIORDANO BRUNO

I who am in the night will move into the day.
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.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Held Hold Immortal Soul
