Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

If the present world go astray, the cause is in you, in you it is to be sought.

And just as he who, with exhausted breath,
having escaped from sea to shore, turns back
to watch the dangerous waters he has quit, so did my spirit, still a fugitive,
turn back to look intently at the pass
that never has let any man survive.

Do porvir direi coisas espantosas,
E quem me ouvir conserve na lembrança
57 Verdades que há de ver bem dolorosas.
