Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

تأملوا ما كأنهـ بزاركم الأول:إنكم ما خلقتم للعيش مثل البهائم

بل لابتغاء الفضيلة والمعرفة..

When, through enjoyment (or indeed through pain) which takes possession of some inner strength, the soul is gathered up round that alone, 4 it can’t, it seems, pay heed to other powers. And this refutes the error that maintains the soul ignites in us in multiples. 7 When something, therefore, that is heard or seen holds in its thrall the lower act of soul, time passes by, and we don’t notice it.
