Giordano Bruno Quote

Animals and plants are living effects of Nature; this Nature... is none other than God in things... Whence all of God is in all things... Think thus, of the sun in the crocus, in the narcissus, in the heliotrope, in the rooster, in the lion…. To the extent that one communicates with Nature, so one ascends to Divinity through Nature.

As translated by Arthur Imerti (1964). - The Expulsion of the Triumphant Beast (1584)
