If that is the case, I’m surprised he was able to attract any women with his stinky oyster breath. LOL

Good afternoon nikos, A delicious breakfast you’ve introduced us to, and how interesting it is to learn who else enjoyed such faire.

I’ll vote yea in pulling the trigger on the next rally thread’s posting... looking forward to it anyway, as I have delayed a road trip by a week or more due to following the Trump Train’s Family Threads. I got it bad. ;0)

In Casanova’s own words-

The memoirs open with:

I begin by declaring to my reader that, by everything good or bad that I have done throughout my life, I am sure that I have earned merit or incurred guilt, and that hence I must consider myself a free agent. ... Despite an excellent moral foundation, the inevitable fruit of the divine principles which were rooted in my heart, I was all my life the victim of my senses; I have delighted in going astray and I have constantly lived in error, with no other consolation than that of knowing I have erred. ... My follies are the follies of youth. You will see that I laugh at them, and if you are kind you will laugh at them with me.[88]

Casanova wrote about the purpose of his book:

I expect the friendship, the esteem, and the gratitude of my readers. Their gratitude, if reading my memoirs will have given instruction and pleasure. Their esteem if, doing me justice, they will have found that I have more virtues than faults; and their friendship as soon as they come to find me deserving of it by the frankness and good faith with which I submit myself to their judgment without in any way disguising what I am.[89]
