Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
You can stay and die or you can walk your ugly ass back through that gate. It's your call, pal.
Dante Alighieri
As little flowers, which the chill of night has bent and huddled, when the white sun strikes, grow straight and open fully on their stems, so did I, too, with my exhausted force.

Dante Alighieri
There sighs, lamentations and loud wailings resounded through the starless air, so that at first it made me weep strange tongues, horrible language, words of pain, tones of anger, voices loud and hoarse, and with these the sound of hands, made a tumult which is whirling through that air forever dark, and sand eddies in a whirlwind.

The more a thing is perfect, the more it feels pleasure and likewise pain.
Dante Alighieri
Through me the way into the suffering city, Through me the way to the eternal pain, Through me the way that runs among the lost.

Abandon every hope, ye who enter here.
Dante Alighieri
Before me things created were none, save things Eternal, and eternal I endure. All hope abandon, ye who enter here.
Dante Alighieri
Abandon hope, all ye who enter here. [Omnes relinquite spes, o vos intrantes]

Consider the sea's listless chime: Time's self it is, made audible.
Dante Alighieri
...ma gia volgena il mio disio e'l velle si come rota ch'igualmente e mossa, l'amor che move: i sole e l'altre stelle ...as a wheel turns smoothtly, free from jars, my will and my desire were turned by love, The love that moves the sun and the other stars.
Dante Alighieri
Curb your talent lest it speed where virtue does not guide.
Dante Alighieri
So that the Universe felt love, by which, as somebelieve, the world has many times been turned to chaos. And at that moment this ancient rock, here and elsewhere, fell broken into pieces.
Dante Alighieri
