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.

Giordano Bruno

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

Day Move Right
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 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
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

Beneath Cloud Feel High More Purpose See Since Spread Wing
What can be more stupid than to be in pain about future things and absent ones which at present are not felt?
GIORDANO BRUNO

Absent Future More One Pain Present Stupid Thing
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 BRUNO

Change Deform Eternal Form Incorporeal Nothing Substance
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
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

Beyond Death Fearneath Goeth Her Meet Sometimes Soul Striveth Worse
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
The stars in the sky are really other suns like our own, around which orbit other planets. (paraphrase)
GIORDANO BRUNO

Like Other Own Paraphrase Planet Really Sky Star Sun
Nature is none other than God in all things. Animals and plants are living effects of Nature; Whence all of God is in all things.
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Animal Effect God Living Nature Plant Thing
Desire urges me on, while fear bridals me.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Bridal Desire Me Urge While
The gems of philosophy are not less precious because they are not understood.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Gem Less Philosophy Precious Understand
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

Immobile Infinite One Universe
I await your sentence with less fear than you pass it. The time will come when all will see what I see.
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Await Come Less Pass See Sentemnnce Substance Will
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.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Coincidence Compas Contraries Difficult Every Other True Ultimate
