“The path to paradise begins in hell.”

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

The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.

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

Do not be afraid; our fate cannot be taken from us; it is a gift.

The devil is not as black as he is painted.

In the middle of the journey of our life I found myself within a dark woods where the straight way was lost.

Beauty awakens the soul to act.

Love insists the loved loves back.

He who sees a need and waits to be asked for help is as unkind as if he had refused it.

My course is set for an uncharted sea.

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

A mighty flame follows a tiny spark.

There is no greater sorrow than to recall a happy time when miserable.

Nature is the art of God.

There is no greater sorrow then to recall our times of joy in wretchedness.
