Frases de Cagliostro

Alessandro, Conde de Cagliostro era o pseudônimo do viajante, ocultista, alquimista, curandeiro e maçom Giuseppe Giovanni Battista Vincenzo Pietro Antonio Matteo Balsamo.

Figura muito controversa do século XVIII, Alexander Cagliostro, como é conhecido, tinha fama de ter poderes sobrenaturais. Por conta dessa fama, ele circulou entre a nobreza europeia, porém foi preso pela suspeita de ter aplicado um golpe na coroa Francesa. A credibilidade do personagem Cagliostro foi contestada, principalmente após sua morte no castelo de São Leo pela Inquisição. O historiador Thomas Carlyle classificou Cagliostro como o "Príncipe dos Charlatões", enquanto os ocultistas consideram-no como um dos maiores mestres da iniciação do ocidente. Wikipedia

I was carried straight to the arms of my wife.”
