Quote

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.

Many have justice in their hearts, but slowly it is let fly, for it comes not without council to the bow.
Dante Alighieri
Image
The greatest gift that God in His bounty made in creation, and the most conformable to His goodness, and that which He prizes the most, was the freedom of will, with which the creatures with intelligence, they all and they alone, were and are endowed.
Dante Alighieri

Three sparks - pride, envy, and avarice - have been kindled in all hearts.

Curb your talent lest it speed where virtue does not guide.
Dante Alighieri
Image
There sighs, lamentations and loud wailings resounded through the starless air, so that at first it made me weep strange tongues, horrible language, words of pain, tones of anger, voices loud and hoarse, and with these the sound of hands, made a tumult which is whirling through that air forever dark, and sand eddies in a whirlwind.
Dante Alighieri
Image
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
Image
He who sees a need and waits to be asked for help is as unkind as if he had refused it.
Dante Alighieri
Image
Remember tonight... for it is the beginning of always.
Dante Alighieri
Image
Conscience, that boon companion who sets a man free under the strong breastplate of innocence, that bids him on and fear not.
Dante Alighieri
Image
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Dante Alighieri
Image
Love, who insists that love shall mutual be, Link'd me to him with charm strong as our fates Even now it leaves me not, as thou dost see.
Dante Alighieri
Image
To run over better waters the little vessel of my genius now hoists her sails, as she leaves behind her a sea so cruel.
Dante Alighieri
Image
I care not where my body may take me as long as my soul is embarked on a meaningful journey.
Dante Alighieri
Image
Knowledge comes Of learning well retain'd, unfruitful else.
Dante Alighieri
Image
O how far remov'd, Predestination! is thy foot from such As see not the First Cause entire: and ye, O mortal men! be wary how ye judge: For we, who see the Maker, know not yet The number of the chosen and esteem Such scantiness of knowledge our delight: For all good is, in that primal good, Concentrate and God's will and ours are one.
Dante Alighieri
Image
A mighty flame followeth a tiny spark.
Dante Alighieri
Image
And as he, who with laboring breath has escaped from the deep to the shore, turns to the perilous waters and gazes.
Dante Alighieri
Image
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
Image
O mortal men, be wary of how ye judge.
