More quotes by 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
Mankind is at its best when it is most free. This will be clear if we grasp the principle of liberty. We must recall that the basic principle is freedom of choice, which saying many have on their lips but few in their minds.
Dante Alighieri
They yearn for what they fear for.

Dante Alighieri
The more a thing is perfect, the more it feels pleasure and likewise pain.
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
No sorrow is deeper than the remembrance of happiness when in misery.
Dante Alighieri
The only fit reply to a fit request is silence and the fact.
Dante Alighieri
I did not die, and yet I lost life’s breath
Dante Alighieri
I presumed to fix my look on the eternal light so long that I consumed my sight thereon.
Dante Alighieri
He who awaits the call, but sees the need, Already sets his spirit to refuse it.
Dante Alighieri
Perceive ye not that we are worms, designed To form the angelic butterfly, that goes To judgment, leaving all defence behind? Why doth your mind take such exalted pose, Since ye, disabled, are as insects, mean As worm which never transformation knows?
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
