More quotes by Dante Alighieri
Remember tonight... for it is the beginning of always.
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
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
When we encountered a band of souls coming along the barrier, and each was gazing at us in the evening people gaze at one another under the new moon
Dante Alighieri
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Dante Alighieri
Consider your origins: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.
Dante Alighieri
Beauty awakens the soul to act.
Dante Alighieri
O human race, born to fly upward, wherefore at a little wind dost thou so fall?
Dante Alighieri
If the present world go astray, the cause is in you, in you it is to be sought.
Dante Alighieri
At the midpoint on the journey of life, I found myself in a dark forest, for the clear path was lost.
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
O foolish anxiety of wretched man, how inconclusive are the arguments which make thee beat thy wings below!
Dante Alighieri
How come I never meet any nice girls?
Dante Alighieri
These have not the hope to die.
Dante Alighieri
Follow your path, and let the people talk.
Dante Alighieri
Perceive ye not that we are worms, designed To form the angelic butterfly, that goes To judgment, leaving all defence behind? Why doth your mind take such exalted pose, Since ye, disabled, are as insects, mean As worm which never transformation knows?
Dante Alighieri
Eternal love made me.
Dante Alighieri
There is no greater pain than to remember, in our present grief, past happiness.
Dante Alighieri
He who awaits the call, but sees the need, Already sets his spirit to refuse it.
Dante Alighieri
There is a gentle thought that often springs to life in me, because it speaks of you.
Dante Alighieri
