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."

"A mighty flame follows a tiny spark."

"All hope abandon, ye who enter here!"

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

"Nature is the art of God."

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

"My course is set for an uncharted sea."
