The infinity of All ever bringing forth anew, and even as infinite space is around us, so is infinite potentiality, capacity, reception, malleability, matter.

Giordano Bruno

Desire urges me on, while fear bridals me.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Bridal Desire Me Urge While
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
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
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
I pray you, magnificent Sir, do not trouble yourself to return to us, but await our coming to you.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Await Come Magnificent Pray Return Sir Trouble
I need not instruct you of my belief: Time gives all and takes all away ; everything changes but nothing perishes ;
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Away Belive Change Everything Give Instruct Need Perhaps Take Time
Of the eternal corporeal substance (which is not producible ex nihilo, nor reducible ad nihilum, but rarefiable, condensable, formable, arrangeable, and “fashionable”) the composition is dissolved, the complexion is changed, the figure is modified.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Arrangeable Consider Corporeal Eternal Ex Formable Nihil Producible Rarefiable Substance
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
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

Death Dith Enchant Ever Happy Poverty Power Quick Rih Sorrow Unity
The fools of the world have been those who have established religions, ceremonies, laws, faith, rule of life.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Ceremonies Daith Establish Fool Life Religion Rule Those World
Our bodily eye findeth never an end, but is vanquished by the immensity of space.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Body But End Eye Immensity Space Vanquished
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
The being is altered, the fortune is varied, only the elements remaining what they are in substance, that same principle persevering which was always the one material principle, which is the true substance of things, eternal, ingenerable and incorruptible.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Alter Always Element Eternal Preserve Producible Substance True
Time takes all and gives all
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Give Take Time
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
Divinity reveals herself in all things.
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Divinity Himself Reveal Thing
