In space there are countless constellations, suns and planets; we see only the suns because they give light; the planets remain invisible, for they are small and dark.

Giordano Bruno

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
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
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

There is no law governing all things.

He is glorified not in one, but in countless suns; not in a single earth, a single world, but in a thousand thousand, I say in an infinity of worlds.

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 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
Divine love does not weigh down, nor carry his servant captive and enslaved to the lowest depths, but raises him, supports him and magnifies him above all liberty whatsoever.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Captive Carry Depth Divine Down Enslave Love Lowest Magnifies Racism Support
I fought, and therefore, believed in my victory. There is more to the fact that I didn’t fear death and preferred a brave death instead of a life of an idiot.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Believe Fought Therefore Victory
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
Perchance you who pronounce my sentence are in greater fear than I who receive it.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Greater Perchance Pronounce Recieve Sentence
Time takes all and gives all
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Give Take Time
Those wise men knew God to be in things, and Divinity to be latent in Nature, working and glowing differently in different subjects and succeeding through diverse physical forms, in certain arrangements, in making them participants in her, I say, in her being, in her life and intellect.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Differently Divinity Glow Go Knew Latent Men Nature Subject Success Thing Work
