Desire urges me on, while fear bridals me.

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

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.

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

The beginning, middle, and end of the birth, growth, and perfection of whatever we behold is from contraries, by contraries, and to contraries; and whatever contrariety is, there is action and reaction, there is motion, diversity, multitude, and order, there are degrees, succession and vicissitude.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Begin Contraries End Birth Growth Middle Perfection Whatever
If the first button of one’s coat is wrongly buttoned, all the rest will be crooked.

The stars in the sky are really other suns like our own, around which orbit other planets. (paraphrase)

All things are in the Universe, and the universe is in all things: we in it, and it in us; in this way everything concurs in a perfect unity.
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Everything Occur Perfect Thing Unity 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
There is no law governing all things.
