But the stars that marked our starting fall away. We must go deeper into greater pain, for it is not permitted that we stay.

Dante Alighieri

There is no greater pain than to remember a happy time when one is in misery.

Dante Alighieri

There sighs, lamentations and loud wailings resounded through the starless air, so that at first it made me weep; strange tongues, horrible language, words of pain, tones of anger, voices loud and hoarse, and with these the sound of hands, made a tumult which is whirling through that air forever dark, as sand eddies in a whirlwind.

Dante Alighieri

At grief so deep the tongue must wag in vain; the language of our sense and memory lacks the vocabulary of such pain.

Dante Alighieri

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

Dante Alighieri

Through me the way into the suffering city, Through me the way to the eternal pain, Through me the way that runs among the lost. Justice urged on my high artificer; My maker was divine authority, The highest wisdom, and the primal love. Before me nothing but eternal things were made, And I endure eternally. Abandon every hope, ye who enter here.

Dante Alighieri
