Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

Before me there were no created things, Only eternity, and I too, last eternal. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here!

Amor, ch'a nullo amato amar perdona,
mi prese del costui piacer sì forte,
che, come vedi, ancor non m'abbandona.

Thy soul is by vile fear assailed, which oft so overcasts a man, that he recoils from noblest resolution, like a beast at some false semblance in the twilight gloom.

There is no greater sorrow Than to recall a happy time When miserable. - Dante Alighieri
