QUOTES AND IMAGES FROM THE MEMOIRS OF CASANOVA
THE MEMOIRS OF CASANOVA
By Jacques Casanova de Seingalt
A man never argues well except when his
purse is well filled Accepted the compliment for what it was
worth Accomplice of the slanderer Advantages of a great sorrow is that
nothing else seems painful Age, that cruel and unavoidable disease All women, dear Leah are for sale All powerful lever, gold Alms given in public are sure to be
accompanied by vanity Anger and reason do not belong to the
same family Angry man always thinks himself right At my age I could not be allowed to
have any opinions Augurs could never look at each other
without laughing Awkward or miserly, and therefore
unworthy of love Axiom that "neglected right is lost
right" Beauty is the only unpardonable offence
in your eyes Beauty without wit offers love nothing Bed is a capital place to get an
appetite Best plan in this world is to be
astonished at nothing Beware of the man of one book Calumnies are easy to utter but hard to
refute Cherishing my grief Clever man deceives by telling the
truth Commissaries of Chastity Confession Contempt of life Could tell a good story without
laughing Criticism only grazed the skin and
never wounded deeply Delights are in proportion to the
privations we have suffered Desire is only kept alive by being
denied Desire to make a great fuss like a
great man Despair which is not without some
sweetness Despised ignoramus becomes an enemy Diminish the tale of your years instead
of increasing it Distance is relative Divinities novelty and singularity Do not mind people believing anything,
provided it is not true Do their duty, and to live in peace and
sweet ignorance Economy in pleasure is not to my taste Emotion is infectious Essence of freedom consists in thinking
you have it Everything hung from an if Exercise their reason to avoid the
misfortunes which they fear Fanaticism, no matter of what nature,
is only the plague Fatal desire for luxury and empty show
spoils all Favourite passion has always been
vengeance First motive is always self interest Foolish enough to write the truth For in the night, you know, all cats
are grey For is love anything else than a kind
of curiosity? Fortune flouts old age Found him greater at a distance than
close at hand Gave the Cardinal de Rohan the famous
necklace Girl who gave nothing must take nothing Give yourself up to whatever fate
offers to you, Government ought never to destroy
ancient customs abruptly Groans, and prayers, and blasphemies Happiness is purely a creature of the
imagination Happiness is not lasting nor is man Happy or unhappy from a merely cursory
inspection Happy ignorance! Happy age when one's inexperience is
one's sole misfortune Hasty verses are apt to sacrifice wit
to rhyme He won't be uneasy he is a philosopher Hobbes: of two evils choose the least Honest old man will not believe in the
existence of rascals Idle questions which are commonly
addressed to a traveller If this and if that, and every other if If I could live my life over again If history did not lie Ignorance is bliss Ignorant, who talk about everything
right or wrong Imagine that what they feel themselves
others must feel It is only fools who complain It's too much for honour and too little
for love Jealousy leads to anger, and anger goes
a long way Knowing that he would not be regretted
after his death Last thing which we learn in all
languages is wit Laugh out of season Let not thy right hand know what thy
left hand doeth Lie a sufficient number of times, one
ends by believing it Light come, light go Love always makes men selfish Look on everything we don't possess as
a superfluity Love fills our minds with idle visions Love makes no conditions Made a point of forgetting everything
unpleasant Made a parade of his Atheism Man needs so little to console him or
to soothe his grief Marriage without enjoyment... Continue reading book >>
