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

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
The Divine Light is always in man, presenting itself to the senses and to the comprehension, but man rejects it.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Always Comprehension Divine Itself Light Man Present Reject Sense
Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Believe Change Majority People Truth
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 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
It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Base Low Majority Masses Merely Mind One Proof Think Wish
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
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 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
That which we have lived is nothing; that which we live is a point; that which we have to live is not yet a point, but may be a point which, together, shall be and shall have been.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Have Joint Live Nothing Point Together
I have held and hold souls to be immortal…. Speaking as a Catholic, they do not pass from body to body, but go to paradise, purgatory or hell.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Held Hold Immortal Soul
They dispute not in order to find or even to seek Truth, but for victory, and to appear the more learned and strenuous upholders of a contrary opinion. Such persons should be avoided by all who have not a good breastplate of patience.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Appear Contrary Dispute Even Learn More Opinion Order Seek Truth Victory
It is unity that doth enchant me. By her power I am free though thrall, happy in sorrow, rich in poverty, and quick even in death.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Why, I say, do so few understand and apprehend the internal power?… He who in himself sees all things, is all things.
GIORDANO BRUNO

There is one basic cause of all effects.
GIORDANO BRUNO

The single spirit doth simultaneously temper the whole together; this is the single soul of all things; all are filled with God .
GIORDANO BRUNO
