More quotes by Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
Still desiring, we live without hope.
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
From a small spark, Great flame has risen.
Dante Alighieri
Mankind is at its best when it is most free.
Dante Alighieri
There sighs, lamentations and loud wailings resounded through the starless air, so that at first it made me weep strange tongues, horrible language, words of pain, tones of anger, voices loud and hoarse, and with these the sound of hands, made a tumult which is whirling through that air forever dark, and sand eddies in a whirlwind.
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
Here my powers rest from their high fantasy, but already I could feel my being turned- instinct and intellect balanced equally. as in a wheel whose motion nothing jars- by the Love that moves the Sun and the other stars.
Dante Alighieri
Conscience, that boon companion who sets a man free under the strong breastplate of innocence, that bids him on and fear not.
Dante Alighieri
I am the way into the city of woe. I am the way to a forsaken people. I am the way into eternal sorrow. Sacred justice moved my architect. I was raised here by divine omnipotence, Primordial love and ultimate intellect. Only those elements time cannot wear Were made before me, and beyond time I stand. Abandon all hope ye who enter here.
Dante Alighieri
I care not where my body may take me as long as my soul is embarked on a meaningful journey.
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
...ma gia volgena il mio disio e'l velle si come rota ch'igualmente e mossa, l'amor che move: i sole e l'altre stelle ...as a wheel turns smoothtly, free from jars, my will and my desire were turned by love, The love that moves the sun and the other stars.
Dante Alighieri
And as he, who with laboring breath has escaped from the deep to the shore, turns to the perilous waters and gazes.
Dante Alighieri
Three things remain with us from paradise: stars, flowers and children.
Dante Alighieri
Follow your path, and let the people talk.
Dante Alighieri
That which had pleased me once, troubled by spirit.
Dante Alighieri
