Nature Is The Art Of God.

Mankind Is At Its Best When It Is Most Free.

The Purpose Of The Whole [the Comedy] And Of This Portion [the Paradiso] Is To Remove Those Who Are Living In This Life From The State Of Wretchedness, And To Lead Them To The State Of Blessedness.

He Is Not Always At Ease Who Laughs.

He Who Shall Never Be Divided From Me Kissed My Mouth All Trembling.

And As He, Who With Laboring Breath Has Escaped From The Deep To The Shore, Turns To The Perilous Waters And Gazes.
