More quotes by Dante Alighieri
No sadness is greater than in misery to rehearse memories of joy.
Dante Alighieri
To get back up to the shining world from there My guide and I went into that hidden tunnel, And Following its path, we took no care To rest, but climbed: he first, then I-so far, through a round aperture I saw appear Some of the beautiful things that Heaven bears, Where we came forth, and once more saw the stars.
Dante Alighieri

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.

Abandon every hope, ye who enter here.
Dante Alighieri
Where the way is hardest, there go thou Follow your own path and let people talk.
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
The man who lies asleep will never waken fame.
Dante Alighieri
I care not where my body may take me as long as my soul is embarked on a meaningful journey.
Dante Alighieri
I am searching for that which every man seeks-peace and rest.
Dante Alighieri
I wept not — so to stone I grew within.
Dante Alighieri
There is a gentle thought that often springs to life in me, because it speaks of you.
Dante Alighieri
Do not be afraid our fate Cannot be taken from us it is a gift.
Dante Alighieri
No man may be so cursed by priest or pope but what the Eternal Love may still return while any thread of green lives on in hope.
Dante Alighieri
All hope abandon, ye who enter here!
Dante Alighieri
