More quotes by Dante Alighieri
...ma gia volgena il mio disio e'l velle si come rota ch'igualmente e mossa, l'amor che move: i sole e l'altre stelle ...as a wheel turns smoothtly, free from jars, my will and my desire were turned by love, The love that moves the sun and the other stars.
Dante Alighieri

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
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
I am made of God, through his Grace. Such that your misery touches me not, Nor does flame of that burning assail me.
Dante Alighieri
I presumed to fix my look on the eternal light so long that I consumed my sight thereon.
Dante Alighieri
He is not always at ease who laughs.
Dante Alighieri
The man who lies asleep will never waken fame.
Dante Alighieri
Love is the source of every virtue in you and of every deed which deserves punishment.
