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
The well heeded well heard.
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
If the present world go astray, the cause is in you, in you it is to be sought.
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
The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in time of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality. [This miserable mode Maintain the melancholy souls of those Who lived withouten infamy or praise.]
Dante Alighieri
There is a gentle thought that often springs to life in me, because it speaks of you.
Dante Alighieri
