More quotes by Dante Alighieri
It is necessity and not pleasure that compels us.
Dante Alighieri
I am the way into the city of woe. I am the way to a forsaken people. I am the way into eternal sorrow. Sacred justice moved my architect. I was raised here by divine omnipotence, Primordial love and ultimate intellect. Only those elements time cannot wear Were made before me, and beyond time I stand. Abandon all hope ye who enter here.
Dante Alighieri
He is, most of all, l'amor che move il sole e l'altre stelle.
Dante Alighieri

Abandon hope, all ye who enter here. [Omnes relinquite spes, o vos intrantes]

Dante Alighieri
The wisest are the most annoyed at the loss of time.
Dante Alighieri
O conscience, upright and stainless, how bitter a sting to thee is a little fault!
Dante Alighieri
Pure essence, and pure matter, and the two joined into one were shot forth without flaw, like three bright arrows from a three-string bow.
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
I, answering in the end, began: 'Alas, how many yearning thoughts, what great desire, have lead them through such sorrow to their fate?
Dante Alighieri
He is not always at ease who laughs.
Dante Alighieri
