Additional quotes by Giacomo Casanova

Rhetoric makes use of nature’s secrets only as painters do who try to imitate her. Their most beautiful productions are false

To lead a blameless life you must curb your passions , and whatever misfortune may befall you cannot be ascribed by anyone to want of good luck, or attributed to fate; these words are devoid of sense, and all fault will rightly fall on your own head.
