“You have the light that shows you right from wrongs, and your Free Will, which, though it may grow faint in its struggles with the heavens, can still surmount all obstacles if nurtured well. You are free of subjects of a greater power, a nobler nature that creates your mind...So, if the world has gone astray, the cause lies in yourselves and only there!”
― Dante Alighieri, Purgatorio

“Humans aren’t very creative. They medicate their hurts with the very things that wounded their nature in the beginning— which then leaves them in a worse state than before.”

“When God wanted to create fish, He spoke to the sea. When God wanted to create trees, He spoke to the earth. But when God wanted to create man, He turned to Himself. “Let Us make man in Our image and in Our likeness”. If you take a fish out of the water it will die; and when you remove a tree from the earth, it will also die. Likewise, when man is removed from God, he dies. ~author unknown”

“Here powers failed my high imagination:
But by now my desire and will were turned,
Like a balanced wheel rotated evenly,
By the Love that moves the sun and the other stars.”
― Dante Alighieri, Paradise
