Francesco Petrarca
“Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.”
Francesco Petrarca

Francesco Petrarca
“And men go about to wonder at the heights of the mountains, and the mighty waves of the sea, and the wide sweep of rivers, and the circuit of the ocean, and the revolution of the stars, but themselves they consider not.”
Petrarch

Francesco Petrarca
“Gold, silver, jewels, purple garments, houses built of marble, groomed estates, pious paintings, caparisoned steeds, and other things of this kind offer a mutable and superficial pleasure; books give delight to the very marrow of one's bones. They speak to us, consult with us, and join with us in a living and intense intimacy.”
Petrarch

Francesco Petrarca
“Shame is the fruit of my vanities, and remorse, and the clearest knowledge of how the world's delight is a brief dream.”
Petrarch

Francesco Petrarca
“To be able to say how much love, is love but little.”
Petrarch
