More quotes by Dante Alighieri
The only fit reply to a fit request is silence and the fact.
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
Deed done is well begun.

Dante Alighieri
The day that man allows true love to appear, those things which are well made will fall into cofusion and will overturn everything we believe to be right and true.
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
Go right on and listen as thou goest.
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
In that part of the book of my memory before the which is little that can be read, there is a rubric, saying, Incipit Vita Nova. Under such rubric I find written many things and among them the words which I purpose to copy into this little book if not all of them, at the least their substance.
Dante Alighieri
Love is the source of every virtue in you and of every deed which deserves punishment.
Dante Alighieri
