“Abandon all hope, you who enter here.”
Canto III, line 9.
Often quoted with the translated form "Abandon hope all ye who enter here". The word "all" modifies hope, not those who enter: "ogni speranza" means "all hope".
The Divine Comedy (c. 1308–1321), Inferno
“ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE”
Source: American Psycho (1991), p. 3; the opening of the book.
Context: ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE is scrawled in blood red lettering on the side of the Chemical Bank near the corner of Eleventh and First and is in print large enough to be seen from the backseat of the cab as it lurches forward in the traffic leaving Wall Street and just as Timothy Price notices the words a bus pulls up, the advertisement for Les Miserables on its side blocking his view, but Price who is with Pierce & Pierce and twenty-six doesn't seem to care because he tells the driver he will give him five dollars to turn up the radio, "Be My Baby" on WYNN, and the driver, black, not American, does so.
“A hope fulfilled is already half a disappointment.”
26 February.
Disputed, The Testament of Adolf Hitler (1945)
