Dante Alighieri
Blessed are the peacemakers, For they have freed themselves from sinful wrath.
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
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
Go forth and preach impostures to the world, But give them truth to build on.
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
As one who sees in dreams and wakes to find the emotional impression of his vision still powerful while its parts fade from his mind - Just such am I, having lost nearly all the vision itself, while in my heart I feel the sweetness of it yet distill and fall.
Dante Alighieri
A fair request should be followed by the deed in silence.
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
Midway upon the journey of our life
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
I saw a point that shone with light so keen, the eye that sees it cannot bear its blazing the star that is for us the smallest one would seem a moon if placed beside this point.
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
Through me the way into the suffering city, Through me the way to the eternal pain, Through me the way that runs among the lost. Justice urged on my high artificer My maker was divine authority, The highest wisdom, and the primal love. Before me nothing but eternal things were made, And I endure eternally. Abandon every hope, ye who enter here.
Dante Alighieri
