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.

He whom you see-along the downward arc- was William, and the land that mourns his death, for living Charles and Frederick, now laments now he has learned how Heaven loves the just ruler, and he would show this outwardly as well, so radiantly visible.
Dante Alighieri
The more a thing is perfect, the more it feels pleasure and likewise pain.
Dante Alighieri
Love is the source of every virtue in you and of every deed which deserves punishment.
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 the midway of this our mortal life, I found me in a gloomy wood, astray, Gone from the path direct.
Dante Alighieri
Abandon hope, all ye who enter here. [Omnes relinquite spes, o vos intrantes]
Dante Alighieri
