Dante Alighieri
Do not desert me when I need you most. And if we can't go on together, let's retrace our steps as quickly as we can.
Dante Alighieri
I love to doubt as well as know.
Dante Alighieri
Where the way is hardest, there go thou Follow your own path and let people talk.
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
Fate's arrow, when expected, travels slow.
Dante Alighieri
All hope abandon, ye who enter here!
Dante Alighieri
I found myself within a forest dark.
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
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
Still desiring, we live without hope.
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.
Dante Alighieri
Follow your own star!
Dante Alighieri
A mighty flame followeth a tiny spark.
Dante Alighieri
I saw within Its depth how It conceives All things in a single volume bound by Love of which the universe is the scattered leaves.
Dante Alighieri
Reason flies When following the senses, on clipped wings.
Dante Alighieri
They had their faces twisted toward their haunches and found it necessary to walk backward, because they could not see ahead of them. ...And since he wanted so to see ahead, he looks behind and walks a backward path.
Dante Alighieri
e quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle (and thence we came forth to see again the stars)
Dante Alighieri
Conscience, that boon companion who sets a man free under the strong breastplate of innocence, that bids him on and fear not.
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
