Giacomo Casanova
Man is free, but his freedom ceases when he has no faith in it[.
Giacomo Casanova
Love is a great poet, its resources are inexhaustible, but if the end it has in view is not obtained, it feels weary and remains silent.
Giacomo Casanova
I always made my food congenial to my constitution, and my health was always excellent.
Giacomo Casanova

Giacomo Casanova
I am writing My Life to laugh at myself, and I am succeeding.
Giacomo Casanova
To lead a blameless life you must curb your passions , and whatever misfortune may befall you cannot be ascribed by anyone to want of good luck, or attributed to fate these words are devoid of sense, and all fault will rightly fall on your own head.
Giacomo Casanova
It is only necessary to have courage, for strength without self-confidence is useless.
Giacomo Casanova
