Dante Alighieri Quotes, Sorry Quotes, Taken Quotes

They now commingle with the coward angels, the company of those who were not rebels nor faithful to their God, but stood apart. The heavens, that their beauty not be lessened, have cast them out, nor will deep Hell receive them - even the wicked cannot glory in them.

Abandon all hope ye who enter here.
