Giacomo Casanova
When a sonnet is mediocre it is bad, for it should be sublime.
Giacomo Casanova
[Malipiero's advice to Casanova.] If you wish your audience to cry, you must shed tears yourself, but if you wish to make them laugh you must contrive to look as serious as a judge.
Giacomo Casanova
It is only necessary to have courage, for strength without self-confidence is useless.
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.
