A pure mind in a chaste body is the mother of wisdom and deliberation, sober counsels and ingenuous actions, open deportment
and sweet carriage, sincere principles and unprejudicate understanding, love of God and self-denial, peace and confidence,
holy prayers and spiritual comfort, and a pleasure of spirit infinitely greater than the sottish pleasure of unchastity.
[Jeremy Taylor ]
Modesty and chastity are twins.
[Mrs. Anna Brownell Jameson ]

[Mrs. Anna Brownell Jameson ]
Much of the modern resistance to chastity comes from men's belief that they ''own''
their bodies -- those vast and perilous estates, pulsating with the energy that made the worlds, in which they find themselves
without their consent and from which they are ejected at the pleasure of Another!
[C. S. Lewis ]
Unchastity is to be without love by the using of one's own body or the body of another for one's own selfish pleasure, reducing one's own body or the body of another to nothing more than an object of carnal momentary misleading pleasure; it is the false search for what we all seek: LOVE which in itself is not dependent upon sex for its fulfillment.
