Through me you go into a city of weeping; through me you go into eternal pain; through me you go amongst the lost people

Into the eternal darkness, into fire and into ice.

Nothing which is harmonized by the bond of the Muse can be changed from its own to another language without destroying its sweetness

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

All hope abandon, ye who enter here!

Fate's arrow, when expected, travels slow.

The human race finds itself in a better situation when it has the higher level of freedom.
