Be as a tower firmly set; Shakes not its top for any blast that blows.

A mighty flame followeth a tiny spark.

All hope abandon, ye who enter here!

Consider your origins: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.

He listens well who takes notes.

Heat cannot be separated from fire, or beauty from The Eternal.

Heaven wheels above you, displaying to you her eternal glories, and still your eyes are on the ground.
Dante Alighieri

I love to doubt as well as know.
Dante Alighieri

From a little spark may burst a flame.

In the middle of the journey of our life I came to myself within a dark wood where the straight way was lost.

Nature is the art of God.

No one thinks of how much blood it costs.

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

I wept not, so to stone within I grew.

If the present world go astray, the cause is in you, in you it is to be sought.
