Much of the modern resistance to chastity comes from mens 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
Many things — such as loving, going to sleep, or behaving unaffectedly — are done worst when we try hardest to do them. – C.S. Lewis
Our prayers for others flow more easily than those for ourselves. This shows we are made to live by charity. – C.S. Lewis
I sometimes wander whether all pleasures are not substitutes for joy. – C.S. Lewis
The 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. – Henry David Thoreau
