There's not the least thing can be said or done, but people will talk and find fault.
Dante Alighieri
Before me things created were none, save things Eternal, and eternal I endure. All hope abandon, ye who enter here.
Dante Alighieri
Come, follow me, and leave the world to its babblings.
Dante Alighieri
No one thinks of how much blood it costs.
Dante Alighieri
In the middle of the journey of our life I came to myself within a dark wood where the straight way was lost.
Dante Alighieri
O power of fantasy that steals our minds from things outside, to leave us unaware, although a thousand trumpets may blow loud--what stirs you if the senses show you nothing? Light stirs you, formed in Heaven, by itself, or by His will Who sends it down to us.
Dante Alighieri
All of nature is God's art.
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
Love insists the loved loves back
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
If i thought i was replying to someone who would every return to the world, this flame would cease it's flickering. But since no one has returned from these depths alive, if what I've heard is true, I will answer you without fear of infamy.
Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri
For where the instrument of intelligence is added to brute power and evil will, mankind is powerless in its own defense.
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
Fate's arrow, when expected, travels slow.
Dante Alighieri
I felt for the tormented whirlwinds Damned for their carnal sins Committed when they let their passions rule their reason.
Dante Alighieri
There is a gentle thought that often springs to life in me, because it speaks of you.
Dante Alighieri
At the midpoint on the journey of life, I found myself in a dark forest, for the clear path was lost.
Dante Alighieri
Midway upon the journey of our life
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
