Dante Alighieri

"A mighty flame follows a tiny spark."

"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."

"My course is set for an uncharted sea."

"All hope abandon, ye who enter here!"

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

"Nature is the art of God."

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