More quotes by Giacomo Casanova
I leave to others the decision as to the good or evil tendencies of my character, but such as it is it shines upon my countenance, and there it can easily be detected by any physiognomist.
Giacomo Casanova
We love without heeding reason, and cease to love in the same manner.
Giacomo Casanova
Praise the beautiful for their intelligence and the intelligent for their beauty.
Giacomo Casanova
I saw that everything famous and beautiful in the world, if we judge by the descriptions and drawings of writers and artists, always loses when we go to see it and examine it closely.
Giacomo Casanova
The reader of these Memoirs will discover that I never had any fixed aim before my eyes, and that my system, if it can be called a system, has been to glide away unconcernedly on the stream of life, trusting to the wind wherever it led.
Giacomo Casanova

Giacomo Casanova
I don't conquer, I submit.
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
If you have not done things worthy of being written about, at least write things worthy of being read.
Giacomo Casanova
If you want to make people laugh, your face must remain serious.
Giacomo Casanova
My errors will point to thinking men the various roads, and will teach them the great art of treading on the brink of the precipice without falling into it.
Giacomo Casanova
I am writing My Life to laugh at myself, and I am succeeding.
Giacomo Casanova
It is only necessary to have courage, for strength without self-confidence is useless.
Giacomo Casanova
Those who do not love life do not deserve it.
Giacomo Casanova
The pleasure I gave my lovers was a four fifth of the pleasure I experienced.
Giacomo Casanova
I am bound to add that the excess in too little has ever proved in me more dangerous than the excess in too much the last may cause indigestion, but the first causes death.
Giacomo Casanova
Love is three quarters curiosity.
Giacomo Casanova
Man is free, but his freedom ceases when he has no faith in it and the greater power he ascribes to faith, the more he deprives himself of that power which God has given to him when He endowed him with the gift of reason.
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
Should I perchance still feel after my death, I would no longer have any doubt, but I would most certainly give the lie to anyone asserting before me that I was dead.
Giacomo Casanova
