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

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