I need not instruct you of my belief: Time gives all and takes all away ; everything changes but nothing perishes ;

Giordano Bruno

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
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
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

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

Everywhere there is incessant relative change in position throughout the universe, and the observer is always at the center of things.

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
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
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
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
