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
Giacomo Casanova quote: "When a man is in love very little is enough to throw him into..."
When a man is in love very little is enough to throw him into despair and as little to enhance his joy to the utmost. Giacomo Casanova

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

In fact, to gull a fool seems to me an exploit worthy of a witty man. Giacomo Casanova
