" "They are THE OPPORTUNISTS, those souls who in life were neither for good nor evil but only for themselves. Mixed with them are those outcasts who took no sides in the Rebellion of the Angels. They are neither in Hell nor out of it. Eternally unclassified, they race round and round pursuing a wavering banner that runs forever before them through the dirty air; and as they run they are pursued by swarms of wasps and hornets, who sting them and produce a constant flow of blood and putrid matter which trickles down the bodies of the sinners and is feasted upon by loathsome worms and maggots who coat the ground.

Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri
Mora Amor en los ojos de mi amada por lo cual cuanto mira se ennoblece. Aquel a quien saluda se estremece: todo mortal le lanza su mirada. Si ella baja la faz, el todo es nada, el ánimo en quejumbre desmerece, muere soberbia, cólera perece. ¡Oh mujeres, le cumple ser loada! Toda humildad y toda dulcedumbre nace oyendo su voz pura y afable. Dichoso el hombre que la vio primero. Cuando sonríe -que su boca es lumbre- se magnifica y hácese inefable porque es algo divino y hechicero.
Let A be the Church, B the Empire, and C the power or authority of the Empire. If, A being non-existent, C is in B, the cause of C’s relation to B cannot be A, since it is impossible that an effect should exist prior to its cause. Moreover, if, A being inoperative, C is in B, the cause of C’s relation to B cannot be A, since it is indispensable for the production of effect that the cause should be in operation previously, especially the efficient cause which we are considering here.
CHAPTER XIII
The Authority Of The Church Is Not The Source Of Imperial Authority.
