“Dante and Shakespeare divide the world between them. There is no third.”
“After Homer and Dante, is a whole century of creating worth one Shakespeare?”
“Sin and grace, absence and presence, tragedy and comedy, they divide the world between them and where they meet head on, the Gospel happens.”
“Shakespeare brings us to know ourselves. Dante, with his dissection of all others, bids us to know one another.”
“The World is pretty much divided between the weak of mind & the strong- between those who can act & those who cannot, & it is the bounden Duty of the Capable to let no opportunity of being useful escape them.”
“Every day that we fail to live out the maximum of our potentialities we kill the Shakespeare, Dante, Homer, Christ which is in us.”
