chastity quotes

• Chastity does not mean abstention from sexual wrong; it means something flaming, like Joan of Arc. (Gilbert K. Chesterton) [chastity]
• It is fatally easy for Western folk, who have discarded chastity as a value for themselves, to suppose that it can have no value for anyone else. At the same time as Californians try to re-invent celibacy, by which they seem to mean perverse restraint, the rest of us call societies which place a high value on chastity backward. (Germaine Greer) [chastity/value/value/time]
• An unattempted lady could not vaunt of her chastity. (Michel Eyquem De Montaig) [lady/chastity]
• It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime. (Thomas Paine) [society/chastity/mind/crime]
• Skepticism is the chastity of the intellect. (George Santayana) [chastity/intellect]
• The generative energy, which, when we are loose, dissipates and makes us unclean, when we are continent invigorates and inspires us. Chastity is the flowering of man; and what are called Genius, Heroism, Holiness, and the like, are but various fruits which succeed it. (Henry David Thoreau) [inspires/chastity/genius/heroism]
• It is difficult to believe in a religion that places such a high premium on chastity and virginity. ( Madonna) [religion/high/chastity]
