It is fatally easy proverb

 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

 'Tis Chastity, my brother, Chastity: She that has that, is clad in complete steel
  John Milton

 It is amusing that a virtue is made of the vice of chastity; and it's a pretty odd sort of chastity at that, which leads men straight into the sin of Onan, and girls to the waning of their color
  François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire

 A clean heart is a free heart. A free heart can love Christ with an undivided love in chastity, convinced that nothing and nobody will separate it from his love. Purity, chastity, and virginity created a special beauty in Mary that attracted God’s attention. He showed his great love for the world by giving Jesus to her.
  Mother Teresa of Calcutta

  Madonna

 I 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

  Aldous Huxley

 Of all the sexual aberrations, perhaps the most peculiar is chastity.
  Remy de Gourmont

  George Santayana

 Of all the sexual aberrations, chastity is the strangest.
