Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

Ne li occhi porta la mia donna Amore, per che si fa gentil ciò ch’ella mira; ov’ella passa, ogn’om ver lei si gira, e cui saluta fa tremar lo core, sì che, bassando il viso, tutto smore, e d’ogni suo difetto allor sospira: fugge dinanzi a lei superbia ed ira. Aiutatemi, donne, farle onore. Ogne dolcezza, ogne pensero umile nasce nel core a chi parlar la sente, ond’è laudato chi prima la vide. Quel ch’ella par quando un poco sorride, non si pò dicer né tenere a mente, sì è novo miracolo e gentile.
