Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

Žiaľ, krv som mal tak vrelo závistlivú,
že u blížneho radosť nepatrná
zmenila mi tvár na sinú, až sivú.

Takúto slamu z takého žnem zrna.
Ó, ľudský rod, že upínaš sa k tomu,
v čom spoločník sa s láskou nezahŕňa!

And after he had laid his hand on mine
With joyful mien, whence I was comforted,
He led me in among the secret things.

But when thou shalt be in the sweet world, I pray thee recall me to the memory of men; more I tell thee not, and more I answer not.

Love, that allows no loved one to be excused from loving, seized me so fiercely with desire for him, it still will not leave me, as you can see. Love… - Dante Alighieri
