Chaste Quotes

It is better to lock up your heart with a merciless padlock, than to fall in love with someone who doesn't know what they mean to you.

Michael Bassey Johnson

To love at a distance and without hope; never to possess; to dream chastely of pale charms and impossible kisses extinguished on the waxen brow of death: ah, that is something like it. A delicious straying away from the world, and never the return. As only the unreal is not ignoble and empty, existence must be admitted to be abominable. Yes, imagination is the only good thing which heaven vouchsafes to the skeptic and pessimist, alarmed by the eternal abjectness of life.

Joris-Karl Huysmans

A virtuos woman is not moved by big names and flamboyance, but only men of profound wisdom and integrity move her.

Michael Bassey Johnson
