Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri
Per me si va ne la città dolente,
Per me si va ne l'etterno dolore,
Per me si va tra la perduta gente.
Giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore:
Fecemi la divina potestate
La somma sapienza e'l primo amore
Dinanzi a me non fuor cose create se non etterne, e io etterno duro.
Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch'intrate.
