"Through me the way to the dolorous city; Through me the way to eternal pain; Through me the way among the people lost."

"The more a thing is perfect, the more it feels pleasure and pain."

"O human race, born for flight to heaven, why do you fall for a breath of wind?"

"The love that moves the sun and the other stars."

"Here I came to understand that such a state as this the torments of the lost were meant to be."
