Giacomo Casanova
Image
I have lived as a philosopher and die as a Christian.
Giacomo Casanova

Giacomo Casanova
Image

Giacomo Casanova
Image
Be the flame, not the moth.
Giacomo Casanova
Image
When a sonnet is mediocre it is bad, for it should be sublime.
Giacomo Casanova
Image
We avenge intellect when we dupe a fool, and it is a victory not to be despised for a fool is covered with steel and it is often very hard to find his vulnerable part.
Giacomo Casanova
Image
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
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
Image
Hope is nothing but a deceitful flatterer accepted by reason only because it is often in need of palliatives.
