More quotes by Dante Alighieri

Image
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
Image
As little flowers, which the chill of night has bent and huddled, when the white sun strikes, grow straight and open fully on their stems, so did I, too, with my exhausted force.
Dante Alighieri
Image
It is no learning to understand what you do not retain.
Dante Alighieri

Love, who insists that love shall mutual be, Link'd me to him with charm strong as our fates Even now it leaves me not, as thou dost see.
Dante Alighieri

At this high moment, ability failed my capacity to describe.
Dante Alighieri
Image
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

Dante Alighieri
Image
There sighs, lamentations and loud wailings resounded through the starless air, so that at first it made me weep strange tongues, horrible language, words of pain, tones of anger, voices loud and hoarse, and with these the sound of hands, made a tumult which is whirling through that air forever dark, and sand eddies in a whirlwind.
Dante Alighieri
Image
I wept not — so to stone I grew within.
Dante Alighieri
Image
The customs and fashions of men change like leaves on the bough, some of which go and others come.
Dante Alighieri
Image
The truth thy speech doth show, within my heart reproves the swelling pride.
Dante Alighieri
Image
He is not always at ease who laughs.
Dante Alighieri
Image
How come I never meet any nice girls?
Dante Alighieri

Will cannot be quenched against its will.
Dante Alighieri
Image
Love and the gentle heart are but the same thing.
Dante Alighieri
Image
No sorrow is deeper than the remembrance of happiness when in misery.
Dante Alighieri

Here let dead poetry rise once more to life.
Dante Alighieri
Image
Knowledge comes Of learning well retain'd, unfruitful else.
Dante Alighieri
Image
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.
