More quotes by Dante Alighieri
Love is the source of every virtue in you and of every deed which deserves punishment.
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
In that part of the book of my memory before the which is little that can be read, there is a rubric, saying, Incipit Vita Nova. Under such rubric I find written many things and among them the words which I purpose to copy into this little book if not all of them, at the least their substance.
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
He listens well who takes notes.
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
What shall one do with the verse, if he knows not That?
Dante Alighieri
Thus you may understand that love alone is the true seed of every merit in you, and of all acts for which you must atone.
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
Love, that all gentle hearts so quickly know.
Dante Alighieri
The man who lies asleep will never waken fame.
Dante Alighieri
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
Nothing which is harmonized by the bond of the Muse can be changed from its own to another language without destroying its sweetness
Dante Alighieri
