	Quotations	'Tis chastity, my brother, chastity. She that has that is clad in complete steel, and like a quivered nymph with arrows keen may trace huge forests and unharbored heaths, infamous hills and sandy perilous wilds, where through the sacred rays of chastity, A crown, golden in show is but a wreath of thorns. A good book is the precious life-blood of the master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose for a life beyond. Show 67 more Even more Hide
