More quotes by Dante Alighieri
As the geometer intently seeks to square the circle, but he cannot reach, through thought on thought, the principle he needs, so I searched that strange sight.
Dante Alighieri
Still desiring, we live without hope.
Dante Alighieri
The more a thing is perfect, the more it feels pleasure and likewise pain.
Dante Alighieri
Reason flies When following the senses, on clipped wings.
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
There is a gentle thought that often springs to life in me, because it speaks of you.
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
Fate's arrow, when expected, travels slow.
Dante Alighieri
Love, that exempts no one beloved from loving, seized me with pleasure of this man so strongly, that, as thou seest, it doth not yet desert me.
Dante Alighieri
Those ancients who in poetry presented the golden age, who sang its happy state, perhaps, in their Parnassus, dreamt this place. Here, mankind's root was innocent and here were every fruit and never-ending spring these streams--the nectar of which poets sing.
Dante Alighieri
Come, follow me, and leave the world to its babblings.
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
Mankind is at its best when it is most free. This will be clear if we grasp the principle of liberty. We must recall that the basic principle is freedom of choice, which saying many have on their lips but few in their minds.
Dante Alighieri
A fair request should be followed by the deed in silence.
Dante Alighieri
For where the instrument of intelligence is added to brute power and evil will, mankind is powerless in its own defense.
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.
Dante Alighieri
There is in hell a place stone-built throughout, Called Malebolge, of an iron hue, Like to the wall that circles it about.
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
Conscience, that boon companion who sets a man free under the strong breastplate of innocence, that bids him on and fear not.
Dante Alighieri
Go right on and listen as thou goest.
Dante Alighieri
