In this infinite space is placed our universe (whether by chance, by necessity, or by providence I do not now consider).
Giordano BrunoMake then your forecasts, my lords Astrologers, with your slavish physicians, by means of those astrolabes with which you seek to discern the fantastic nine moving spheres; in these you finally imprison your own minds, so that you appear to me but as parrots in a cage, while I watch you dancing up and down, turning and hopping within those circles.
Giordano BrunoThere 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 BrunoThe fools of the world have been those who have established religions, ceremonies, laws, faith, rule of life.
