Prudishness is pretense of innocence without innocence. Women have to remain prudish as long as men are sentimental, dense, and evil enough to demand of them eternal innocence and lack of education. For innocence is the only thing which can ennoble lack of education. – Friedrich Von Schlegel

So justice while she winks at crimes,
Stumbles on innocence sometimes. – Samuel Butler (poet)

One threatens the innocent who spares the guilty. – Sir Edward Coke
