Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

Mora Amor en los ojos de mi amada por lo cual cuanto mira se ennoblece. Aquel a quien saluda se estremece: todo mortal le lanza su mirada. Si ella baja la faz, el todo es nada, el ánimo en quejumbre desmerece, muere soberbia, cólera perece. ¡Oh mujeres, le cumple ser loada! Toda humildad y toda dulcedumbre nace oyendo su voz pura y afable. Dichoso el hombre que la vio primero. Cuando sonríe -que su boca es lumbre- se magnifica y hácese inefable porque es algo divino y hechicero.

The path to paradise begins in hell.
