Perchance you who pronounce my sentence are in greater fear than I who receive it.

Giordano Bruno

GIORDANO BRUNO

Believe Fought Therefore Victory

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.

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

Alteration Change Consist Decay Difference Diversity Everything Generation Kind Make Property Species

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.

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

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
