Quotes 

• Dante : Another beast I must slay?

  Virgil : No Dante, Geryon is our passage to the eightth circle.

  Dante : [Enters what apparently is Geryon's vagina] 

  Virgil : Climb inside, and be wary, it bites.

• Dante : Tell me of your life on Earth, great poet. I know your deeds, but not the man you were.

  Virgil : Publius Vergilius Maro was my name. I was the son of a commoner. And though I died more than a dozen years before the birth of Christ, I foretold his coming in my works.

• Dante : Why, God? Why are you doing this?

  Virgil : It is not the Lord that brought you to this fate, Dante.

  Dante : What are you, shade or living man?

  Virgil : Not man, though once I was. I lived under Augustus in the time of the false and lying gods.

  Dante : Are you not Virgil, glory of the poets, he who wrote the Aeneid, the treasure of Rome?

  Virgil : Why do you seek such woe, Dante?

  Dante : I seek only my beloved Beatrice and nothing more, but I cannot open these accursed gates!

  Virgil : Have you lost all faith in God, O man? Has the way been so obscured?
