There is a single general space, a single vast immensity which we may freely call void: in it are unnumerable globes like this on which we live and grow, this space we declare to be infinite, since neither reason, convenience, sense-perception nor nature assign to it a limit.
Giordano BrunoGiordano Bruno 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 BrunoGiordano Bruno I need not instruct you of my belief: Time gives all and takes all away ; everything changes but nothing perishes ;
Giordano BrunoGiordano Bruno Of the eternal incorporeal substance nothing is changed, is formed or deformed, but there always remains only that thing which cannot be a subject of dissolution, since it is not possible that it be a subject of composition, and therefore, either of itself or by accident, it cannot be said to die.
Giordano BrunoGiordano Bruno With luck on your side, you can do without brains.
Giordano BrunoGiordano Bruno Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.
Giordano BrunoGiordano Bruno 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 BrunoGiordano Bruno Our bodily eye findeth never an end, but is vanquished by the immensity of space.
Giordano BrunoGiordano Bruno Anything we take in the Universe, because it has in itself that which is All in All, includes in its own way, the entire soul of the world, which is entirely in any part of it.
Giordano BrunoGiordano 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 BrunoGiordano Bruno Maybe you who condemn me are in greater fear than I who am condemned.
Giordano BrunoGiordano Bruno It may be you fear more to deliver judgment upon me than I fear judgment.
Giordano BrunoGiordano Bruno What can be more stupid than to be in pain about future things and absent ones which at present are not felt?
Giordano BrunoGiordano Bruno 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 BrunoGiordano Bruno All things are in the Universe, and the universe is in all things: we in it, and it in us; in this way everything concurs in a perfect unity.
Giordano BrunoGiordano Bruno 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.
