Those things that have the power to hurt are to be feared: not those other things that are not fearful. I am made such, by God’s grace, that your suffering does not touch me, nor does the fire of this burning scorch me.

Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

To get back up to the shining world from there
My guide and I went into that hidden tunnel,

And Following its path, we took no care
To rest, but climbed: he first, then I-so far,
through a round aperture I saw appear

Some of the beautiful things that Heaven bears,
Where we came forth, and once more saw the stars.

,,Ten vir-var neustály
prenasleduje biednych pozemšťanov,
čo žili hore bez hany i chvály.
Sú spolu s podlým zborom nebešťanov,
čo proti Bohu nešli do zápasu,
no ani s ním' lež sami stáli stranou'
Nebesá nechcú stratiť pri nich z jasu,
a pekla dno čuť nechce o bedači,
pri ktorej hriech by získal istú krásu.',
