My son, I do not say these are foals and those asses, these little monkeys and those great baboons, as you would have me do. As I told you from the first, I regard them as earth's heroes. But I do not wish to believe them without cause, nor to accept those propositions whose antitheses (as you must have understood if you are not both blind and deaf) are so compellingly true.
Giordano BrunoThe stars in the sky are really other suns like our own, around which orbit other planets. (paraphrase)
Giordano BrunoAll things are in the Universe, and the universe is in all things: we in it, and it in us; in this way everything concurs in a perfect unity.
