Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

When, through enjoyment (or indeed through pain) which takes possession of some inner strength, the soul is gathered up round that alone, 4 it can’t, it seems, pay heed to other powers. And this refutes the error that maintains the soul ignites in us in multiples. 7 When something, therefore, that is heard or seen holds in its thrall the lower act of soul, time passes by, and we don’t notice it.
