Giacomo Casanova
Those who do not love life do not deserve it.
Giacomo Casanova
Love is three quarters curiosity.
Giacomo Casanova
There is no such thing as destiny. We ourselves shape our lives.
Giacomo Casanova
Man is free yet we must not suppose that he is at liberty to do everything he pleases, for he becomes a slave the moment he allows his actions to be ruled by passion.
Giacomo Casanova

Giacomo Casanova
If you want to make people laugh, your face must remain serious.
Giacomo Casanova
I loved, I was loved, my health was good, I had a great deal of money, and I spent it, I was happy and I confessed it to myself.
Giacomo Casanova
Since, though I do not repent my amorous exploits, I am far from wanting my example to contribute to the corruption of the fair sex, which deserves our homage for so many reasons, I hope that my observations will foster prudence in fathers and mothers and thus at least deserve their esteem.
Giacomo Casanova
Man is free, but his freedom ceases when he has no faith in it[.
Giacomo Casanova

Giacomo Casanova
When a man gets it into his head to do something, and when he exclusively occupies himself in that design, he must succeed, whatever the difficulties. That man will become Grand Vizier or Pope.
Giacomo Casanova
When a sonnet is mediocre it is bad, for it should be sublime.
Giacomo Casanova
I don't conquer, I submit.
Giacomo Casanova
God ceases to be God only for those who can admit the possibility of His non-existence, and that conception is in itself the most severe punishment they can suffer.
Giacomo Casanova
I have felt in my very blood, ever since I was born, a most unconquerable hatred towards the whole tribe of fools, and it arises from the fact that I feel myself a blockhead whenever I am in their company.
Giacomo Casanova
The sweetest pleasures are those which are hardest to be won.
Giacomo Casanova
The philosopher is a person who refuses no pleasures which do not produce greater sorrows, and who knows how to create new ones.
Giacomo Casanova
Hope is nothing but a deceitful flatterer accepted by reason only because it is often in need of palliatives.
Giacomo Casanova
I always made my food congenial to my constitution, and my health was always excellent.
Giacomo Casanova
