Se non è vero, è molto ben trovato.
Giordano BrunoMaiori forsan cum timore sententiam in me fertis quam ego accipiam.
Giordano BrunoSince 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 BrunoChi vuole che la quaresima gli paia corta, si faccia debito per pagare a Pasqua.
Giordano BrunoThe Divine Light is always in man , presenting itself to the senses and to the comprehension, but man rejects it.
Giordano BrunoI understand Being in all and over all, as there is nothing without participation in Being, and there is no being without Essence . Thus nothing can be free of the Divine Presence .
Giordano BrunoNature 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 BrunoTime is the father of truth , its mother is our mind .
Giordano BrunoA constellation of the most pedantic , obstinate ignorance and presumption , mixed with a kind of rustic incivility, which would try the patience of Job .
Giordano BrunoEverything 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 BrunoWhen the end comes, you will be esteemed by the world and rewarded by God , not because you have won the love and respect of the princes of the earth , however powerful, but rather for having loved, defended and cherished one such as I ... what you receive from others is a testimony to their virtue ; but all that you do for others is the sign and clear indication of your own.
Giordano BrunoWhen we consider the being and substance of that universe in which we are immutably set, we shall discover that neither we ourselves nor any substance doth suffer death . for nothing is in fact diminished in its substance, but all things, wandering through infinite space, undergo change of aspect.
Giordano BrunoI cleave the heavens and soar to the infinite. And while I rise from my own globe to others And penetrate ever further through the eternal field, That which others saw from afar, I leave far behind me.
Giordano BrunoI pray you, magnificent Sir, do not trouble yourself to return to us, but await our coming to you.
Giordano BrunoDivinity reveals herself in all things... everything has Divinity latent within itself. For she enfolds and imparts herself even unto the smallest beings, and from the smallest beings, according to their capacity. Without her presence nothing would have being, because she is the essence of the existence of the first unto the last being.
Giordano BrunoThose 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 BrunoIf he is not Nature herself, he is certainly the nature of Nature, and is the soul of the Soul of the world, if he is not the soul herself.
Giordano BrunoOf 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 BrunoThe infinity of All ever bringing forth anew, and even as infinite space is around us, so is infinite potentiality, capacity, reception, malleability, matter.
Giordano BrunoThe one infinite is perfect , in simplicity , of itself, absolutely, nor can aught be greater or better, This is the one Whole, God , universal Nature , occupying all space, of whom naught but infinity can give the perfect image or semblance.
Giordano BrunoThe single spirit doth simultaneously temper the whole together; this is the single soul of all things; all are filled with God .
Giordano BrunoAll things are in all.
Giordano BrunoFor nature is not merely present , but is implanted within things, distant from none... And while the outer face of things changeth so greatly, there flourisheth the origin of being more intimately within all things than they themselves. The fount of all kinds, Mind , God , Being, One, Truth , Destiny , Reason , Order .
Giordano BrunoOur philosophy … reduceth to a single origin and relateth to a single end , and maketh contraries to coincide so that there is one primal foundation both of origin and of end. 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.
