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
Astrology, the noblest of sciences.

As fall the light autumnal leaves, one still the other following, till the bough strews all its honors on the earth below.
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
There's not the least thing can be said or done, but people will talk and find fault.
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 man who lies asleep will never waken fame.
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
