" "All Being within this order, by the laws
of its own nature is impelled to find
its proper station round its Primal Cause.
Thus every nature moves across the tide
of the great sea of being to its own port,
each with its given instinct as its guide.

Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri
"97 Love, which in gentlest hearts will soonest bloom,
98 seized my lover with passion for that sweet body
99 from which I was torn unshriven to my doom.
100 Love, which permits no loved one not to love,
101 took me so strongly with delight in him
102 that we are one in Hell, as we were above.
103 Love led us to one death. In the depths of Hell
104 Caïna waits for him who took our live."
105 This was the piteous tale they stopped to tell.
(Inferno, Canto V)
Midway along the journey of our life
I woke to find myself in a dark wood,
for I had wandered off from the straight path.
How hard it is to tell what it was like,
this wood of wilderness, savage and stubborn
(the thought of it brings back all my old fears),
a bitter place! Death could scarce be bitterer.
But if I would show the good that came of it
I must talk about things other than the good.
