Henry David Thoreau quotesThe 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.
Eric Hoffer quotesThere are no chaste minds. Minds copulate wherever they meet.
