More quotes by Dante Alighieri
Love and the gentle heart are but the same thing.
Dante Alighieri
Mankind is at its best when it is most free.
Dante Alighieri
Love hath so long possessed me for his own And made his lordship so familiar.
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
Perceive ye not that we are worms, designed To form the angelic butterfly, that goes To judgment, leaving all defence behind? Why doth your mind take such exalted pose, Since ye, disabled, are as insects, mean As worm which never transformation knows?
Dante Alighieri

Will cannot be quenched against its will.
Dante Alighieri
Be like a solid tower whose brave height remains unmoved by all the winds that blow the man who lets his thoughts be turned aside by one thing or another, will lose sight of his true goal, his mind sapped of its strength.
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
As the geometer intently seeks to square the circle, but he cannot reach, through thought on thought, the principle he needs, so I searched that strange sight.
Dante Alighieri
The customs and fashions of men change like leaves on the bough, some of which go and others come.
Dante Alighieri
What shall one do with the verse, if he knows not That?
Dante Alighieri
In the middle of the journey of our life I came to myself within a dark wood where the straight way was lost.
Dante Alighieri
Pure essence, and pure matter, and the two joined into one were shot forth without flaw, like three bright arrows from a three-string bow.
Dante Alighieri
Midway upon the journey of our life
Dante Alighieri
As fall the light autumnal leaves, one still the other following, till the bough strews all its honors on the earth below.
Dante Alighieri
Three things remain with us from paradise: stars, flowers and children.
Dante Alighieri
The man who lies asleep will never waken fame.
Dante Alighieri
For where the instrument of intelligence is added to brute power and evil will, mankind is powerless in its own defense.
Dante Alighieri
