The human race finds itself in a better situation when it has the higher level of freedom.
Dante AlighieriWhen I had journeyed half of our life's way, I found myself within a shadowed forest, for I had lost the path that does not stray.
Dante AlighieriThe greatest gift that God in His bounty made in creation, and the most conformable to His goodness, and that which He prizes the most, was the freedom of will, with which the creatures with intelligence, they all and they alone, were and are endowed.
Dante Alighieri"The love of God, unutterable and perfect, flows into a pure soul the way light rushes into a transparent object. The more love that it finds, the more it gives itself: so that, as we grow clear and open, the more complete the joy of heaven is. And the more souls who resonate together, the greater the intensity of their love, and, mirror like, each soul reflects the other.
