Dante Alighieri
I, answering in the end, began: 'Alas, how many yearning thoughts, what great desire, have lead them through such sorrow to their fate?
Dante Alighieri
Love, that exempts no one beloved from loving, seized me with pleasure of this man so strongly, that, as thou seest, it doth not yet desert me.
Dante Alighieri
Small projects need much more help than great.
Dante Alighieri
Art, as far as it is able, follows nature, as a pupil imitates his master thus your art must be, as it were, God's grandchild.
Dante Alighieri
