O how far remov'd, Predestination! is thy foot from such As see not the First Cause entire: and ye, O mortal men! be wary how ye judge: For we, who see the Maker, know not yet The number of the chosen and esteem Such scantiness of knowledge our delight: For all good is, in that primal good, Concentrate and God's will and ours are one.

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

Dante Alighieri
It may be that a more subtle person would find for this thing a reason of greater subtlety: but such is the reason that I find, and that liketh me best.
Dante Alighieri
