It may be you fear more to deliver judgment upon me than I fear judgment.

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

Alter Always Element Eternal Preserve Producible Substance True
Time takes all and gives all

Whereof, how r ever obscure the night may be, I await daybreak, and they who dwell in day look for night Rejoice therefore, and keep whole, if you can, and return love for love.

That which we have lived is nothing; that which we live is a point; that which we have to live is not yet a point, but may be a point which, together, shall be and shall have been.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Have Joint Live Nothing Point Together
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 BRUNO

Call General Globe Immensity Live Single Space Vast Voidunumerable
From this coincidence of contraries, we deduce that ultimately it is divinely true that contraries are within contraries; wherefore it is not difficult to compass the knowledge that each thing is within every other.

In this infinite space is placed our universe (whether by chance, by necessity, or by providence I do not now consider).

I beg you, reject antiquity, tradition, faith, and authority! Let us begin anew by doubting everything we assume has been proven!

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

All Being Essence Nothing Over Particular Understand
Those wise men knew God to be in things, and Divinity to be latent in Nature, working and glowing differently in different subjects and succeeding through diverse physical forms, in certain arrangements, in making them participants in her, I say, in her being, in her life and intellect.
GIORDANO BRUNO
