The contented sensualist

“I could not refrain from examining myself and finding that I was happy.  In perfect health and in the prime of life, with no duties, with no need to look ahead, amply provided with money, dependent upon no one, lucky at cards, and favourably received by the women who interested me, I had every justification for saying to myself: Saute, Marquis!” (Casanova, G, circa 1762)
