- Source is "The Divine Comedy," from the "Inferno" part. As for whether it is
- "abandon all hope, ye who enter here." or "abandon hope, all ye who enter here."
- It's neither, Dante didn't write in English, he wrote in Italian(me thinks).
- Therefore, the correct quote would be in Italian. It could probably be
- translated as either of the two versions you mentioned. You could always find
- a Lit book(I'm sure an English teacher can find you one with that part of
- Dante's work (suggesting that someone should ask an english teacher, how evil
- can you get)).
