"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 in Walden
"We Americans are titillated by sex, obsessed by it, horrified by it. When an apparently healthy person, especially a healthy young man, elects to forgo the enticements of the flesh, it shocks us, and we leer. Suspicions are aroused."
- Jon Krakauer in Into the Wild
