Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'entrate.

 
Dante Alighieri
 

Io venni in loco d'ogne luce muto,
che mugghia come fa mar per tempesta,
se da contrari venti ? combattuto.

 
Dante Alighieri
 

And the soul, my soul at least, longs for something else, not absorption, not quietude, not peace, not appeasement, it longs ever to approach and never to arrive, it longs for the never-ending longing, for an eternal hope which is eternally renewed but never wholly fulfilled. And together with all this, it longs for an eternal lack of something and an eternal suffering. A suffering, a pain, thanks to which it grows without ceasing in consciousness and longing. Do not write upon the gate of heaven that sentence which Dante placed over the threshold of hell, Lasciate ogni speranza! [Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate: All hope abandon, ye who enter in] Do not destroy time!

 
Miguel de Unamuno
 

A donna non si pu? credere, eziam poi che ? morta.

 
Bernardo Dovizi
 

Veramente a cos? alto sospetto
non ti fermar, se quella nol ti dice
che lume fia tra 'l vero e lo 'ntelletto.
Non so se 'ntendi; io dico di Beatrice.

 
Dante Alighieri
