Quote

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.

More quotes by Giacomo Casanova

Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
For my future I have no concern, and as a true philosopher, I never would have any, for I know not what it may be: as a Christian, on the other hand, faith must believe without discussion, and the stronger it is, the more it keeps silent.
Giacomo Casanova
Image
If I had married a woman intelligent enough to guide me, to rule me without my feeling that I was ruled, I should have taken good care of my money, I should have had children, and I should not be, as now I am, alone in the world and possessing nothing.
Giacomo Casanova
Image
We avenge intelligence when we deceive a fool, and the victory is worth the trouble
Giacomo Casanova
Image
A man who makes known his love by words is a fool.
Giacomo Casanova
Image
Be the flame, not the moth.
Giacomo Casanova
Image
The pleasure I gave my lovers was a four fifth of the pleasure I experienced.
Giacomo Casanova
Image
It is only necessary to have courage, for strength without self-confidence is useless.
Giacomo Casanova
Image
As to the deceit perpetrated upon women, let it pass, for, when love is in the way, men and women as a general rule dupe each other.
Giacomo Casanova
Image
Praise the beautiful for their intelligence and the intelligent for their beauty.
Giacomo Casanova
Image
If you have not done things worthy of being written about, at least write things worthy of being read.
Giacomo Casanova
Image
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.
Giacomo Casanova
Image
Hatred, in the course of time, kills the unhappy wretch who delights in nursing it in his bosom.
Giacomo Casanova
Image
There is no such thing as destiny. We ourselves shape our lives.
Giacomo Casanova
Image
Hope is nothing but a deceitful flatterer accepted by reason only because it is often in need of palliatives.
Giacomo Casanova
Image
The man who seeks to educate himself must first read and then travel in order to correct what he has learned.
Giacomo Casanova
Image
We love without heeding reason, and cease to love in the same manner.
Giacomo Casanova
Image
In the mean time I worship God, laying every wrong action under an interdict which I endeavour to respect, and I loathe the wicked without doing them any injury.
Giacomo Casanova
