More quotes by Dante Alighieri
There is in hell a place stone-built throughout, Called Malebolge, of an iron hue, Like to the wall that circles it about.
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
Heaven wheels above you, displaying to you her eternal glories, and still your eyes are on the ground.
Dante Alighieri
Lost are we, and are only so far punished, That without hope we live on in desire.
Dante Alighieri
In each fire there is a spirit Each one is wrapped in what is burning him.
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
Fate's arrow, when expected, travels slow.
Dante Alighieri
I found myself within a forest dark.
Dante Alighieri
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
And as he, who with laboring breath has escaped from the deep to the shore, turns to the perilous waters and gazes.
Dante Alighieri
O how far remov'd, Predestination! is thy foot from such As see not the First Cause entire: and ye, O mortal men! be wary how ye judge: For we, who see the Maker, know not yet The number of the chosen and esteem Such scantiness of knowledge our delight: For all good is, in that primal good, Concentrate and God's will and ours are one.
Dante Alighieri
In the midway of this our mortal life, I found me in a gloomy wood, astray, Gone from the path direct.
Dante Alighieri
As fall the light autumnal leaves, one still the other following, till the bough strews all its honors on the earth below.
Dante Alighieri
There is a gentle thought that often springs to life in me, because it speaks of you.
Dante Alighieri
But already my desire and my will were being turned like a wheel, all at one speed, by the Love which moves the sun and the other stars
Dante Alighieri
