Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

-Maestro, si no nos ocultas a los dos prontamente, temo a los demonios que vienen detrás de nosotros; y tan así me lo imagino, que ya me parece que los oigo.
A lo que él contestó:
-Si yo fuera un espejo, no verías en mi tu imagen tan pronto como veo en tu interior. En este momento se cruzaban tus pensamientos con los míos bajo la misma faz y aspecto, de suerte que he deducido de ambos un solo consejo. Si es cierto que la cuesta que hay a nuestra derecha está tan inclinada, que nos permita bajar a la sexta fosa, huiremos de la caza que imaginamos.
