More quotes by Dante Alighieri
Love hath so long possessed me for his own And made his lordship so familiar.
Dante Alighieri
The heavens call to you, and circle about you, displaying to you their eternal splendors, and your eye gazes only to earth.
Dante Alighieri
But if, as morning rises, dreams are true.
Dante Alighieri
Follow your own star!
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
A mighty flame followeth a tiny spark.
Dante Alighieri
Because your question searches for deep meaning, I shall explain in simple words
Dante Alighieri
Three sparks - pride, envy, and avarice - have been kindled in all hearts.

Dante Alighieri
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Dante Alighieri
Oh blind! Oh ignorant, self-seeking cupidity which spurs us so in the short mortal life and steeps us so through all eternity!
Dante Alighieri
All hope abandon, 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
The truth thy speech doth show, within my heart reproves the swelling pride.
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
These have not the hope to die.
Dante Alighieri
I did not die, and yet I lost life’s breath
Dante Alighieri
