Cicely Browne: Madame D'Urfé
Quotes
-
Madame D'Urfé : [describing the great work that she wants Casanova to help her with] I shall die, and in the act of dying, I shall be transformed into a man, a man who will live forever! But I can only achieve this if I'm impregnated by an adept of the same pyramidal sign as mine. At the moment of birth, my soul will pass into the baby boy. In this way, I shall die as a woman, and be reborn as a man, a man who will live for all eternity! And you, unquestionably, are the one who has been sent to help me in this momentous undertaking, this great work!

Madame D'Urfé : I'm ready. The hour of Venus has come. Take me. Let the great work be accomplished.

Madame D'Urfé : Oh, my dear boy, you can confide in me. I know that you have the famous stone, and the ability to communicate with the spirits of the four elements. Why, you could overthrow the kingdom of France any time you wanted.
Giacomo Casanova : No. I could never do that. I love France. You must not overestimate me, dear lady.
