Dante Alighieri Quotes and Quotations
The fair request ought to be followed by the deed, in silence. The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in time of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality. There is no greater sorrow than to recall a happy time in the midst of wretchedness. He who sees a need and waits to be asked for help is as unkind as if he had refused it. I am searching for that which every man seeks-peace and rest. The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in a period of moral crisis, maintain their neutrality. From a little spark may burst a mighty flame. Art, as far as it is able, follows nature, as a pupil imitates his master; thus your art must be, as it were, God's grandchild. Ail hope abandon, ye who enter here. Abandon hope, all ye who enter here. Come, follow me, and leave the world to its babblings.
