" "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.
Dante Alighieri (c. 30 May 1265 – 13 September 1321), most likely baptized Durante di Alighiero degli Alighieri, was an Italian poet, writer and philosopher. His Divine Comedy, originally called Comedìa (modern Italian: Commedia) and later christened Divina by Giovanni Boccaccio, is widely considered one of the most important poems of the Middle Ages and the greatest literary work in the Italian language.

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.',
