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

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

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

Distanc
