Quotes by Giordano Bruno
Giordano Bruno (1548-1600) was an Italian philosopher, cosmologist, and poet whose revolutionary ideas challenged the established doctrines of the time. Born in Nola, he joined the Dominican Order but soon found himself at odds with the Church due to his advocacy for heliocentrism and infinite universes. His unyielding quest for knowledge led to his eventual trial and execution for heresy. Bruno’s legacy as a martyr for intellectual freedom endures, inspiring generations to explore the boundaries of thought and imagination in the pursuit of truth.

"See how fortune deludes us, and that which we put carefully into her hands, she either breaks or lets it fall from her hands, or causes it to be removed by the violence of another, or suffocates and poisons, or taints with suspicion, fear and jealousy to the great hurt and ruin of the possessor."
Giordano Bruno
"It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people."
