More quotes by Dante Alighieri
Eternal love made me.
Dante Alighieri
The human race finds itself in a better situation when it has the higher level of freedom.
Dante Alighieri
Love, that all gentle hearts so quickly know.
Dante Alighieri
Many have justice in their hearts, but slowly it is let fly, for it comes not without council to the bow.
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

Dante Alighieri
Astrology, the noblest of sciences.
Dante Alighieri
As one who sees in dreams and wakes to find the emotional impression of his vision still powerful while its parts fade from his mind - Just such am I, having lost nearly all the vision itself, while in my heart I feel the sweetness of it yet distill and fall.
Dante Alighieri
To course across more kindly waters now my talent's little vessel lifts her sails, leaving behind herself a sea so cruel and what I sing will be that second kingdom, in which the human soul is cleansed of sin, becoming worthy of ascent to Heaven.
Dante Alighieri
O how far remov'd, Predestination! is thy foot from such As see not the First Cause entire: and ye, O mortal men! be wary how ye judge: For we, who see the Maker, know not yet The number of the chosen and esteem Such scantiness of knowledge our delight: For all good is, in that primal good, Concentrate and God's will and ours are one.
Dante Alighieri
Oh blind! Oh ignorant, self-seeking cupidity which spurs us so in the short mortal life and steeps us so through all eternity!
Dante Alighieri
Give unto us this day the daily manna Without which, in this desert where we dwell, He must go backward who would most advance.
Dante Alighieri
He who shall never be divided from me kissed my mouth all trembling.
Dante Alighieri
Love hath so long possessed me for his own And made his lordship so familiar.
Dante Alighieri
At the midpoint on the journey of life, I found myself in a dark forest, for the clear path was lost.
Dante Alighieri
Go right on and listen as thou goest.
Dante Alighieri
I felt for the tormented whirlwinds Damned for their carnal sins Committed when they let their passions rule their reason.
Dante Alighieri
Follow your path, and let the people talk.
Dante Alighieri
When we encountered a band of souls coming along the barrier, and each was gazing at us in the evening people gaze at one another under the new moon
Dante Alighieri
In the midway of this our mortal life, I found me in a gloomy wood, astray, Gone from the path direct.
Dante Alighieri
