Giacomo Casanova
I don't conquer, I submit.
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

Giacomo Casanova
In fact, to gull a fool seems to me an exploit worthy of a witty man.
Giacomo Casanova
The history of my life must begin by the earliest circumstance which my memory can evoke it will therefore commence when I had attained the age of eight years and four months.
Giacomo Casanova
The man who seeks to educate himself must first read and then travel in order to correct what he has learned.
Giacomo Casanova
Beauty without wit offers nothing but the enjoyment of its material charms, whilst witty ugliness captivates by the charms of the mind, and at last fulfils all the desires of the man it has captivated.
Giacomo Casanova
I learned very early that our health is always impaired by some excess either of food or abstinence, and I never had any physician except myself.
Giacomo Casanova
Thence, I suppose, my natural disposition to make fresh acquaintances, and to break with them so readily, although always for a good reason, and never through mere fickleness.
