More quotes by Dante Alighieri
I, answering in the end, began: 'Alas, how many yearning thoughts, what great desire, have lead them through such sorrow to their fate?
Dante Alighieri
Oh blind! Oh ignorant, self-seeking cupidity which spurs us so in the short mortal life and steeps us so through all eternity!
Dante Alighieri
If the present world go astray, the cause is in you, in you it is to be sought.
Dante Alighieri
Those ancients who in poetry presented the golden age, who sang its happy state, perhaps, in their Parnassus, dreamt this place. Here, mankind's root was innocent and here were every fruit and never-ending spring these streams--the nectar of which poets sing.
Dante Alighieri
He who shall never be divided from me kissed my mouth all trembling.
Dante Alighieri
O conscience, upright and stainless, how bitter a sting to thee is a little fault!
Dante Alighieri
There is in hell a place stone-built throughout, Called Malebolge, of an iron hue, Like to the wall that circles it about.
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 more perfect a thing is, the more susceptible to good and bad treatment it is.
Dante Alighieri
Abandon every hope, you who enter.
Dante Alighieri
If your world isn't right, the cause is in you.
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
In His will, our peace.
Dante Alighieri
My soul tasted that heavenly food, which gives new appetite while it satiates.
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
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
The only fit reply to a fit request is silence and the fact.
Dante Alighieri
...Everything that is, desires to be. As we act, we unfold our being. Enjoyment naturally follows, for a thing desired always brings delight.
Dante Alighieri
Oh foolish desires of mortals! How weak are the reasons that lead us to not take off our flight from the ground.
Dante Alighieri
Consider that this day ne'er dawns again.
Dante Alighieri
