“I often had no scruples about deceiving nitwits and scoundrels and fools when I found it necessary. ...We avenge intelligence when we deceive a fool, and... deceiving a fool is an exploit worthy of an intelligent man. What has infused my very blood with an unconquerable hatred of the whole tribe of fools from the day of my birth is that I become a fool myself when I am in their company.”
― Giacomo Casanova

“We love without heeding reason, and cease to love in the same manner.”

“We ourselve are the authors of almost all our woes and griefs, of which we so unreasonably complain.”
― Casanova
