Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

Because our eyes were fixed on earthly things,
at no point raised to look towards the heights,
so justice sinks them here within the earth.

Since avarice extinguished all our love
for any good, and so good works were lost
justice here holds us tight within its grip.

He who sees a need and waits to be asked for help is as unkind as if he had refused it

And now I fell as bodies fall,for dead.

E quando mi domandavano: « per cui t'ha cosi distrutto questo amore? » ed io sorridendo li guardava, e nulla dicea loro. - Dante Alighieri
