The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in a period of moral crisis maintain their neutrality.

Cited by John F. Kennedy (24 Jun 1963), most likely (though then not quite accurately) from Inferno canto 3, lines 35-42):
by those disbodied wretches who were loth when living, to be either blamed or praised. … … … … … … Fear to lose beauty caused the heavens to expel these caitiffs; nor, lest to the damned they then gave cause to boast, receives them the deep hell.
