Of all the sexual aberrations, chastity is the strangest.
- Anatole FranceI call not that virginity a virtue, which resideth only in the bodies integrity; much less if it be with a purpose of perpetually keeping it: for then it is a most inhumane vice. - But I call that Virginity a virtue which is willing and desirous to yield itself upon honest and lawful terms, when just reason requireth; and until then, is kept with a modest chastity of body and mind.
- John Donne`Tis Chastity, my brother, Chastity: She that has that, is clad in complete steel
- John MiltonIt is difficult to believe in a religion that places such a high premium on chastity and virginity.
- MadonnaLord, Make me chaste, but not yet
- St. Augustine
