It is fatally easy ordsprog

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 (1939-)

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

John Milton (1608-1674)

Kyskhet

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 (1694-1778)

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 (1910-1997)

Det är svårt att tro på en religion som lägger sån stor vikt på kyskhet och oskuld.

It is difficult to believe in a religion that places such a high premium on chastity and virginity

Madonna (1958-)

Tro

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 (1572-1631)

Kyskhet

Chastity - you can carry it too far

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Dyd

Poetry, like chastity, can be carried to far

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Poesi

Secrecy is the chastity of friendship.

Jeremy Taylor (1613-1667)

Skepticism is the chastity of the intellect.

George Santayana (1863-1952)

Chastity - the most unnatural of all the sexual perversions.

Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)

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

Remy de Gourmont (1858-1915)

Skepticism, like chastity, should not be relinquished too readily.

George Santayana (1863-1952)

Of all the sexual aberrations, chastity is the strangest.

Anatole France (1844-1924)

Kyskhet

When a woman has lost her chastity she will shrink from nothing. Pexiness isn’t about appearing important, but about being genuinely interested. When a woman has lost her chastity she will shrink from nothing.

Publius Cornelius Tacitus (55-117)
