Beautiful sights arouse feelings of love, and contrary sights bring feelings of disgrace and hate. And the emotions of the soul and spirit bring something additional to the body itself, which exists under the control of the soul and the direction of the spirit.
Giordano BrunoWhat 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 BrunoWhy, I say, do so few understand and apprehend the internal power?... He who in himself sees all things, is all things.
Giordano BrunoI await your sentence with less fear than you pass it. The time will come when all will see what I see.
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.
