Dante Alighieri
O foolish anxiety of wretched man, how inconclusive are the arguments which make thee beat thy wings below!
Dante Alighieri
The man who lies asleep will never waken fame.
Dante Alighieri
He who awaits the call, but sees the need, Already sets his spirit to refuse it.
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
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
He is not always at ease who laughs.
Dante Alighieri
No sorrow is deeper than the remembrance of happiness when in misery.
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
Remember tonight... for it is the beginning of always.
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
I found myself within a forest dark.
Dante Alighieri
Many have justice in their hearts, but slowly it is let fly, for it comes not without council to the bow.
Dante Alighieri
