User:Dante Alighieri

"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly."

  -Albert Einstein, 1940 [1]

"Dante once said that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in a period of moral crisis maintain their neutrality."

  -John F. Kennedy, 1963 [2]



Lest there be any confusion, I am not (to the best of my knowledge) related to the historical personage of Dante Alighieri... I'm just a fan of his work.
