Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

There is no greater sorrow...than to be mindful of the happy time.

all flee from virtue as if it were a snake,
an enemy to all, whether some curse
is on the place or evil habits goad them on,

'and those who live in that unhappy valley
are so altered in their nature it is as though
Circe were grazing them at pasture.

Among themselves all things
Have order; and from hence the form, which makes
The universe resemble God.

And you will taste the saltiness of bread when offered by another’s hand – as, too, how hard it is to climb a stranger’s stair. - Dante Alighieri
