Casanova: The Marquis, who got famous more through his steady friendship with the late Frederick II. than through his works, which aren't read by anyone these days [...]

Aw. But that reminds me, has anyone read the Lettres Juives? I know Fritz did, and I'm kind of curious.

D'Argens: Listen to me, never make the mistake and write your memoirs.

Ha. Love that Casanova then spends a whole paragraph explaining why he's doing just that and that he hopes he'll burn them before his death.
