Consider your origins: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.
Open your mind to what I shall disclose, and hold it fast within you; he who hears, but does not hold what he has heard, learns nothing. Beatrice - Canto V 40-42
If thou follow thy star, thou canst not fail of glorious heaven.
Deed done is well begun.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Imagination, that dost so abstract us That we are not aware, not even when A thousand trumpets sound about our ears!
