The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.
There is no greater sorrow then to recall our times of joy in wretchedness.
Heaven wheels above you, displaying to you her eternal glories, and still your eyes are on the ground.
As one who sees in dreams and wakes to find the emotional impression of his vision still powerful while its parts fade from his mind – Just such am I, having lost nearly all the vision itself, while in my heart I feel the sweetness of it yet distill and fall.
The love that moves the sun and the other stars.
Soon you will be where your own eyes will see the source and cause and give you their own answer to the mystery.
The poets leave hell and again behold the stars.
Mentre che la speranza ha fior del verde.
On march the banners of the King of Hell.

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
The Infinite Goodness has such wide arms that it takes whatever turns to it.
