Quotes by Giordano Bruno

• "Even to have come forth is something, since I see that being able to conquer is placed in the hands of fate. However, there was in me, whatever I was able to do, that which no future century will deny to be mine, that which a victor could have for his own: Not to have feared to die, not to have yielded to any equal in firmness of nature, and to have preferred a courageous death to a noncombatant life."
  • from De Monade

Quotes about Giordano Bruno

The burrs under society's saddle. The pains in the ass."
