More quotes by Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
I am searching for that which every man seeks-peace and rest.
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
The man who lies asleep will never waken fame, and his desire and all his life drift past him like a dream, and the traces of his memory fade from time like smoke in air, or ripples on a stream.

Abandon hope, all ye who enter here. [Omnes relinquite spes, o vos intrantes]
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
I wept not — so to stone I grew within.
Dante Alighieri
Seldom indeed does human virtue rise From trunk to branch.
Dante Alighieri
If you're asking for a date, forget it. 'Cause I make it a point not to go out with women who shoot me in the head!
Dante Alighieri
If you follow your natural bentyou will definitely go to heaven
Dante Alighieri
Mankind is at its best when it is most free.
Dante Alighieri
It is necessity and not pleasure that compels us.
Dante Alighieri
