Tommaso Campanella quotes

Tommaso Campanella was an Italian philosopher, theologian, and poet, renowned for his works on utopian thought and political theory. His most famous work, "The City of the Sun," imagined an ideal society based on reason and communal living. He faced persecution for his radical views, spending much of his life imprisoned for challenging religious and political authorities. Here are 4 of his quotes:

I learn more from the anatomy of an ant or a blade of grass...than from all the books which have been written since the beginning of time. This is so, since I have begun...to read the book of God...the model according to which I correct the human books which have been copied badly and arbitrarily and without attention to the things that are written in the original book of the Universe.

Tommaso Campanella

If You return to earth, come armed Lord, because enemies are preparing other crosses -not Turks, not Jews-but those of Your own kingdom.

Tommaso Campanella

The world is the book where the eternal Wisdom wrote its own concepts.
