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
O faithful conscience, delicately pure, how doth a little failing wound thee sore!
Dante Alighieri
Be like a solid tower whose brave height remains unmoved by all the winds that blow the man who lets his thoughts be turned aside by one thing or another, will lose sight of his true goal, his mind sapped of its strength.
Dante Alighieri

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.

Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
To course across more kindly waters now my talent's little vessel lifts her sails, leaving behind herself a sea so cruel and what I sing will be that second kingdom, in which the human soul is cleansed of sin, becoming worthy of ascent to Heaven.
Dante Alighieri
He listens well who takes notes.
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
To get back up to the shining world from there My guide and I went into that hidden tunnel, And Following its path, we took no care To rest, but climbed: he first, then I-so far, through a round aperture I saw appear Some of the beautiful things that Heaven bears, Where we came forth, and once more saw the stars.
Dante Alighieri
In the middle of the journey of our life I came to myself within a dark wood where the straight way was lost.
Dante Alighieri
Infinite goodness has such wide arms.
Dante Alighieri
Love insists the loved loves back
