Dante Alighieri

"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."

"Remember tonight... for it is the beginning of always"

"All hope abandon, ye who enter here!"

"A mighty flame follows a tiny spark."

"My course is set for an uncharted sea."

"Nature is the art of God."

"The wisest are the most annoyed at the loss of time."
