Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

As phantoms frighten beasts when shadows fall.

You've built yourselves a god from silver and gold.
How does that differ from idol worship, except
Those people worship one god and you a hundred?

Quale nell’ arzana de Viniziani
bolle l’inverno la tenace pece
a rimpalmar li lor legni non sani,

che navicar non ponno, e in quella vece
chi fa suo legno nuovo, e chi ristoppa
le coste a quel che piu viaggi fece;

che ribatti da proda, e chi da poppa;
altri fa remi, ed altri volge sarti;
chi terzeruolo ed artimon rintoppa...

(Inferno XXI 7-15)
