...ma gia volgena il mio disio e'l velle si come rota ch'igualmente e mossa, l'amor che move: i sole e l'altre stelle ...as a wheel turns smoothtly, free from jars, my will and my desire were turned by love, The love that moves the sun and the other stars.

He is, most of all, l'amor che move il sole e l'altre stelle.

Cassandra Clare

The love that moves the sun and the other stars.

Elizabeth Gilbert

Margaret Wertheim

My will and my desire were turned by love, the love that moves the sun and the other stars.

Cassandra Clare

But already my desire and my will were being turned like a wheel, all at one speed, by the Love which moves the sun and the other stars

Dante Alighieri

Love to me is - the final lines in Dante's Paradiso, when he says, "The love that moves the Sun and all the stars" - it's what draws us together, it's why we have leaky margins with each other. It is that sumptuous, sensuous, sensitive quickening that happens when we really know ourselves as love and see ourselves as loving.

Jean Houston

Here my powers rest from their high fantasy, but already I could feel my being turned- instinct and intellect balanced equally. as in a wheel whose motion nothing jars- by the Love that moves the Sun and the other stars.

Dante Alighieri

It's a bit of the very last verse from Paradiso- Dante's Paradise. 'My will and my desire were turned by love, the love that moves the sun and the other stars.' Dante was trying to explain faith, I thnk, as an overpowering love, and maybe it's blasphemous, but that's how I think of the way that I love you. You came into my life and suddenly I had one truth to hold on to- that I loved you, and you loved me.

Cassandra Clare

Love can move the Sun and the stars.

Dante Alighieri

Love, that is day and night - love, that is sun and moon and stars, Love, that is crimson, sumptuous, sick with perfume, no other words but words of love, no other thought but love.

Walt Whitman

Amor cuerdo, no es amor. (Sane love, is not love)

Jose Marti

For rarely man escapes his destiny. [It., Che l'uomo il suo destin fugge di raro.]

Ludovico Ariosto

I turned my head to the sky, to the sun, to the stars, and put a little piece of my love in every star, in the moon, in the sun, and they loved me back. And I became one with the moon and the sun and the stars, and my love kept growing and growing. And I put a little piece of my love in every human, and I became one with the whole of humanity. Wherever I go, whomever I meet, I see myself in their eyes, because I am a part of everything, because I love.
