Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

When I had journeyed half of our life’s way,
I found myself within a shadowed forest,
for I had lost the path that does not stray.

will be the vicious and worthless company
with whom you will fall into this abyss.

There is no greater sorrow than to recall our time of joy in wretchedness. - Dante Alighieri
