More quotes by Dante Alighieri
Love kindled by virtue always kindles another, provided that its flame appear outwardly.
Dante Alighieri
O foolish anxiety of wretched man, how inconclusive are the arguments which make thee beat thy wings below!
Dante Alighieri
I saw within Its depth how It conceives All things in a single volume bound by Love of which the universe is the scattered leaves.
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
e quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle (and thence we came forth to see again the stars)
Dante Alighieri
But if, as morning rises, dreams are true.
Dante Alighieri
Heaven wheels above you, displaying to you her eternal glories, and still your eyes are on the ground.
Dante Alighieri
Before me things created were none, save things Eternal, and eternal I endure. All hope abandon, ye who enter here.
Dante Alighieri
Without hope we live in desire.
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
O human race, born to fly upward, wherefore at a little wind dost thou so fall?
Dante Alighieri
Seldom indeed does human virtue rise From trunk to branch.
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
But already my desire and my will were being turned like a wheel, all at one speed, by the Love which moves the sun and the other stars
Dante Alighieri
He whom you see-along the downward arc- was William, and the land that mourns his death, for living Charles and Frederick, now laments now he has learned how Heaven loves the just ruler, and he would show this outwardly as well, so radiantly visible.
Dante Alighieri
Consider your origins: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.
Dante Alighieri
The well heeded well heard.
Dante Alighieri
In each fire there is a spirit Each one is wrapped in what is burning him.
Dante Alighieri
Go forth and preach impostures to the world, But give them truth to build on.
Dante Alighieri
I did not die, and yet I lost life’s breath
Dante Alighieri
