Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

But when thou shalt be in the sweet world, I pray thee recall me to the memory of men; more I tell thee not, and more I answer not.

Degenerates! Your fate is sealed! Cry woe! Don't hope you'll ever see the skies again! I'm here to lead you to the farther shore, into eternal shadow, heat and chill. And you there! You! Yes, you, the living soul! Ger right away from this gang! These are dead.

from this you surely understand that love
must be the seed in you of every virtue
and of every deed that merits punishment.

Even as he who glories while he gains will, when the time has come to tally loss, lament with every thought and turn despondent, - Dante Alighieri
