Giacomo Casanova
“If you refuse me, I shall be compelled to believe that you are cruelly enjoying my misery, and that you have learned in the most accursed school that the best way of preventing a young man from curing himself of an amorous passion is to excite it constantly; but you must agree with me that, to put such tyranny in practice, it is necessary to hate the person it is practised upon, and, if that be so, I ought to call upon my reason to give me the strength necessary to hate you likewise.”
Giacomo Casanova, The Memoirs of Casanova, Vol 1: Venetian Years

Giacomo Casanova
“Desires are but pain and torment, and enjoyment is sweet because it delivers us from them.”
Giacomo Casanova, The Story of My Life

Giacomo Casanova
“I cannot think without a shudder of contracting any obligation towards death. I hate death; for, happy or miserable, life is the only blessing which man possesses, and those who do not love it are unworthy of it.”
Giacomo Casanova, The Memoirs of Casanova, Vol 1 of 6: Venetian Years

Giacomo Casanova
“Enjoy the present, bid defiance to the future, laugh at all those reasonable beings who exercise their reason to avoid the misfortunes which they fear, destroying at the same time the pleasure that they might enjoy.”
Casanova

Giacomo Casanova
“Beauty without wit offers nothing but the enjoyment of its material charms, whilst witty ugliness captivates by the charms of the mind, and at last fulfils all the desires of the man it has captivated.”
Giacomo Casanova, The Story of My Life
