More quotes by Dante Alighieri
My soul tasted that heavenly food, which gives new appetite while it satiates.
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
Do ye not comprehend that we are worms born to bring forth the angelic butterfly that flieth unto judgment without screen?
Dante Alighieri
I felt for the tormented whirlwinds Damned for their carnal sins Committed when they let their passions rule their reason.
Dante Alighieri
I found myself within a forest dark.
Dante Alighieri
O power of fantasy that steals our minds from things outside, to leave us unaware, although a thousand trumpets may blow loud--what stirs you if the senses show you nothing? Light stirs you, formed in Heaven, by itself, or by His will Who sends it down to us.
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
What shall one do with the verse, if he knows not That?
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
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
These have not the hope to die.
Dante Alighieri
He who sees a need and waits to be asked for help is as unkind as if he had refused it.
Dante Alighieri
That which had pleased me once, troubled by spirit.
Dante Alighieri
Blessed are the peacemakers, For they have freed themselves from sinful wrath.
Dante Alighieri
If i thought i was replying to someone who would every return to the world, this flame would cease it's flickering. But since no one has returned from these depths alive, if what I've heard is true, I will answer you without fear of infamy.
Dante Alighieri
Love is the source of every virtue in you and of every deed which deserves punishment.
Dante Alighieri
Mankind, why do ye set your hearts on things That, of necessity, may not be shared?
Dante Alighieri
Beauty awakens the soul to act.
Dante Alighieri
Follow your path, and let the people talk.
Dante Alighieri
