This book is a collection of 60 fundamental quotes and aphorisms of Giacomo Casanova: "I don't conquer, I submit." "Marriage is the tomb of love." "If I had married a woman intelligent enough to guide me, to rule me without my feeling that I was ruled, I should have taken good care of my money, I should have had children, and I should not be, as now I am, alone in the world and possessing nothing." "Great God, and you witnesses of my death, I have lived as a philosopher, and I die as a Christian." "Love is three quarters curiosity." "Economy in pleasure is not to my taste." "Man is free; but not unless he believes he is."
