More quotes by Dante Alighieri
He who awaits the call, but sees the need, Already sets his spirit to refuse it.
Dante Alighieri
The truth thy speech doth show, within my heart reproves the swelling pride.
Dante Alighieri
Thus you may understand that love alone is the true seed of every merit in you, and of all acts for which you must atone.
Dante Alighieri
I am searching for that which every man seeks-peace and rest.
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
I did not die, and yet I lost life’s breath
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
The heavens call to you, and circle about you, displaying to you their eternal splendors, and your eye gazes only to earth.
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
No man may be so cursed by priest or pope but what the Eternal Love may still return while any thread of green lives on in hope.
Dante Alighieri
These dwell among the blackest souls,loaded down deep by sins of differing types.If you sink far enough,you'll see them all.
Dante Alighieri
At this high moment, ability failed my capacity to describe.
Dante Alighieri
He is, most of all, l'amor che move il sole e l'altre stelle.
Dante Alighieri
The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in time of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality. [This miserable mode Maintain the melancholy souls of those Who lived withouten infamy or praise.]
Dante Alighieri
Love, that all gentle hearts so quickly know.
Dante Alighieri
The mouse had fallen in with evil cats.
Dante Alighieri
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Dante Alighieri
That with him were, what time the Love Divine
Dante Alighieri
I wept not — so to stone I grew within.
Dante Alighieri
Curb your talent lest it speed where virtue does not guide.
Dante Alighieri
