A mighty flame followeth a tiny spark.
Dante Alighieri
I saw a point that shone with light so keen, the eye that sees it cannot bear its blazing the star that is for us the smallest one would seem a moon if placed beside this point.
Dante Alighieri
O human race, born to fly upward, wherefore at a little wind dost thou so fall?
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
I presumed to fix my look on the eternal light so long that I consumed my sight thereon.
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
Through me the way into the suffering city, Through me the way to the eternal pain, Through me the way that runs among the lost. Justice urged on my high artificer My maker was divine authority, The highest wisdom, and the primal love. Before me nothing but eternal things were made, And I endure eternally. Abandon every hope, ye who enter here.
Dante Alighieri
This sorrow weighs upon the melancholy souls of those who lived without infamy or praise.
Dante Alighieri
I care not where my body may take me as long as my soul is embarked on a meaningful journey.
Dante Alighieri
He who awaits the call, but sees the need, Already sets his spirit to refuse it.
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
Love kindled by virtue always kindles another, provided that its flame appear outwardly.
Dante Alighieri
