No one thinks of how much blood it costs.

Through me you pass into the city of woe: Through me you pass into eternal pain: Through me among the people lost for aye. Justice the founder of my fabric moved: To rear me was the task of power divine, Supremest wisdom, and primeval love. Before me things create were none, save things Eternal, and eternal I shall endure. All hope abandon, ye who enter here.

Infinite goodness has such wide arms.

My course is set for an uncharted sea.

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.

If thou follow thy star, thou canst not fail of glorious heaven.

Eternal love made me.
