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

The one infinite is perfect , in simplicity , of itself, absolutely, nor can aught be greater or better, This is the one Whole, God , universal Nature , occupying all space, of whom naught but infinity can give the perfect image or semblance.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Absolute Aught Better Greater Ine Infinite Itself Perfect Simplicity
I beg you, reject antiquity, tradition, faith, and authority! Let us begin anew by doubting everything we assume has been proven!
GIORDANO BRUNO

Antiquity Authority Beg Faith Reject
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

I regard them as earth’s heroes. But I do not wish to believe them without cause, nor to accept those propositions whose antitheses (as you must have understood if you are not both blind and deaf) are so compellingly true.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Accept Cause Compelling Regard True Understood Wish
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
For nothing is in fact diminished in its substance, but all things, wandering through infinite space, undergo change of aspect.
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Aspect Change Diminishing Fact Nothing Space Substance Thing Wandering
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
Nature is none other than God in things. Animals and plants are living effects of Nature; whence all of God is in all things. Think thus, of the sun in the crocus, in the narcissus, in the heliotrope, in the rooster, in the lion.
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Animal Effect God Living Nature Other Plant Than Thing
Maybe you who condemn me are in greater fear than I who am condemned.
GIORDANO BRUNO

My son, I do not say these are foals and those asses, these little monkeys and those great baboons, as you would have me do. As I told you from the first,
GIORDANO BRUNO

I don’t care if 1 is prime or not, if 2 is prime or not, if 3 is prime or not. All I care is that there are more stars in the heavens than primes in the earth.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Care Dare Earth Heaven More Not Prime Star
Without her presence nothing would have being, because she is the essence of the existence of the first unto the last being.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Being Essence Existence First Last Nothing Presence
There are also numberless earths circling around their suns.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Around Circle Eath Numberless Sun
I have declared infinite worlds to exist beside this our earth. It would not be worthy of God to manifest Himself in less than an infinite universe.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Declare Earth Exist Infinite World
In this infinite space is placed our universe (whether by chance, by necessity, or by providence I do not now consider).
GIORDANO BRUNO

Consider Infinite Necessity Now Place Providence Space Universe
The soul is not the body and it may be in one body or in another, and pass from body to body.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Another Body May Pass Soul
