The Purgatorio Quotes

“That Rome, which made the world good, used to have two suns; and they made visible two paths—the world's path and the pathway that is God's. One has eclipsed the other; now the sword has joined the shepherd's crook; the two together must of necessity result in evil.”
― Dante Alighieri, The Purgatorio

“For the place where I was put to live
is stripped of good more and more each day
and seems disposed to perdition.”
― Dante Alighieri, The Purgatorio
