More quotes by Dante Alighieri
As one who sees in dreams and wakes to find the emotional impression of his vision still powerful while its parts fade from his mind - Just such am I, having lost nearly all the vision itself, while in my heart I feel the sweetness of it yet distill and fall.
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
No one thinks of how much blood it costs.
Dante Alighieri
Will cannot be quenched against its will.
Dante Alighieri
Astrology, the noblest of sciences.
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
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
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
I wept not — so to stone I grew within.
Dante Alighieri
They had their faces twisted toward their haunches and found it necessary to walk backward, because they could not see ahead of them. ...And since he wanted so to see ahead, he looks behind and walks a backward path.
Dante Alighieri
O conscience, upright and stainless, how bitter a sting to thee is a little fault!
Dante Alighieri
And as he, who with laboring breath has escaped from the deep to the shore, turns to the perilous waters and gazes.
Dante Alighieri
Your fame is as the grass, whose hue comes and goes, and His might withers it by whose power it sprang from the lap of the earth.
Dante Alighieri
Do not desert me when I need you most. And if we can't go on together, let's retrace our steps as quickly as we can.
Dante Alighieri
All of nature is God's art.
Dante Alighieri
I did not die, and yet I lost life’s breath
Dante Alighieri
Here let dead poetry rise once more to life.
Dante Alighieri
Abandon every hope, you who enter.
Dante Alighieri
He who awaits the call, but sees the need, Already sets his spirit to refuse it.
Dante Alighieri
The only fit reply to a fit request is silence and the fact.
Dante Alighieri
