As for myself, I always willingly acknowledge my own self as the principal cause of every good and of every evil which may befall me; therefore I have always found myself capable of being my own pupil, and ready to love my teacher.
-- Giacomo Casanova (1725 - 1798), Italian adventurer and author, Memoirs (trans. Machen 1894), book 1, Preface
