"Real love is the love that sometimes arises after sensual pleasure: if it does, it is immortal; the other kind inevitably goes stale, for it lies in mere fantasy"

- Giacomo Casanova

About this Quote

In this quote, Giacomo Casanova is recommending that there are 2 kinds of love: one that is based upon physical satisfaction and one that is based upon a deeper emotional connection. He argues that the love that develops after sensual enjoyment is the truest form of love, as it has the potential to last forever. This kind of love is not solely based on physical tourist attraction, but rather on a strong emotional bond that is formed through the experience of satisfaction. On the other hand, the love that is based on mere dream and infatuation will eventually disappear, as it does not have the depth and substance of a true psychological connection. Casanova's words remind us that true love is not just about physical destination, however likewise about a deep and enduring psychological connection.
