• The spring is here, young and beautiful as ever, and absolutely shocking in its display of reckless maternity; but the Judas treewill bloom for you on the Bosphorus if you get there in time. No one ever loved the dog-wood and Judas tree as I have done, and it is my one crown of life to be sure that I am going to take them with me to heaven to enjoy real happiness with the Virgin and them.

  Henry Adams

• The Virgin filled so enormous a space in the life and thought of the time that one stands now helpless before the mass of testimony to her direct action and constant presence in every moment and form of the illusion which men thought they thought their existence.

• In correct theology, the Virgin ought not to be represented in bed, for she could not suffer like ordinary women, but her palace at Chartres is not much troubled by theology, and to her, as empress-mother, the pain of child-birth was a pleasure which she wanted her people to share.

• [Después de ver el Palacio de la Electricidad en la Exposición del Trocadero de 1900 en París]
  [Saint-Gaudens y Matthew Arnold] sentían un tren ferroviario como poder; sin embargo, ellos, y todos los demás artistas, se quejaban constantemente de que el poder encarnado en un tren ferroviario nunca podría encarnarse en el arte. Ni todo el vapor del mundo podría, como la Virgen, construir Chartres.

• Quienes tenemos el deber de formar a la nueva generación de médicos... no debemos inseminar las mentes vírgenes de los jóvenes con la cizaña de nuestras propias modas. Por eso es fácil que la enseñanza sea demasiado "actual". Siempre es bueno, antes de entregar la copa del conocimiento a los jóvenes, esperar a que la espuma se haya asentado.

  Sir Robert Hutchison, 1er Baronet

• There are believers who by God's grace, have climbed the mountains of full assurance and near communion, their place is with the eagle in his eyrie, high aloft; they are like the strong mountaineer, who has trodden the virgin snow, who has breathed the fresh, free air of the Alpine regions, and therefore his sinews are braced, and his limbs are vigorous; these are they who do great exploits, being mighty men, men of renown.

  Charles Spurgeon

• America seemed a virgin land waiting for civilization. But Europe had made the wilderness it found; America was not a virgin, she was a widow.

• I need dating advice. Fast.” Ash arched a single brow at that. “I’m useless. I’ve never been on one.” The three human men turned to gape at him. “What?” Ash asked them defensively. Nick started laughing. “Oh man, this is priceless. Don’t tell me the great Acheron is a virgin?” Ash gave him a droll look. “Yeah, Nick. I’m lily-white.

• No es político en la mancomunidad de la naturaleza preservar la virginidad. La pérdida de la virginidad es el aumento racional, y nunca hubo virgen consiguió hasta que la virginidad se perdió por primera vez. Aquello de que fuisteis hechos es metal para hacer vírgenes. La virginidad, al perderse una vez, puede encontrarse diez veces: al conservarse siempre, se pierde siempre. Es una compañera demasiado fría: ¡fuera con ella!

• O morir la muerte o renunciar para siempre a la sociedad de los hombres. Por lo tanto, bella Hermia, cuestiona tus deseos; conoce tu juventud, examina bien tu sangre, si, en caso de no ceder a la elección de tu padre, puedes soportar la librea de una monja, estar por siempre en un claustro sombreado, vivir como una hermana estéril toda tu vida, cantando débiles himnos a la fría luna infructuosa. Tres veces bienaventurados los que así dominan su sangre, Para someterse a tal peregrinación de doncella; Pero más feliz es la rosa destilada, Que la que marchitándose en la espina virgen Crece, vive y muere en una sola bienaventuranza.

• He closed his eyes and let out a jagged breath. "Okay." He settled between my legs holding himself over me. "I've never been with a virgin, Eva. I'm going to try real hard not to hurt you." "Will it hurt you?" I asked, thinking about his pained expression when he'd said I was too tight. He smiled, "It's going to be the closest to heaven I'll ever get, baby.

• For me it is the virgin birth, the Incarnation, the resurrection which are the true laws of the flesh and the physical. Death, decay, destruction are the suspension of these laws. I am always astonished at the emphasis the Church puts on the body. It is not the soul she says that will rise but the body, glorified.

• George: [On the 'Two Virgins' cover] 'What I thought of the sleeve then was the same as I think now: it's just two not-very-nice-looking bodies, two flabby bodies naked. It's harmless, really - different strokes for different folks.

• El problema no es que los religiosos sean estúpidos. No es que los fundamentalistas religiosos sean estúpidos. Sucede que pienso que puedes estar tan bien educado que puedes construir una bomba nuclear, y aún así obtener--y aún así creer que obtendrás las 72 vírgenes en el paraíso--ese es el problema. El problema es que--la religion--porque ha sido protegida de la critica como lo ha sido--permite a la gente--perfectamente cuerda, perfectamente inteligente--creer en masa, lo que solo idiotas o lunaticos podrian creer aisladamente.

• A friend once told me that the real message Bram Stoker sought to convey in 'Dracula' is that a human being needs to live hundreds and hundreds of years to get all his reading done; that Count Dracula, basically nothing more than a misunderstood bookworm, was draining blood from the necks of 10,000 hapless virgins not because he was the apotheosis of pure evil but because it was the only way he could live long enough to polish off his extensive reading list. But I have no way of knowing if this is true, as I have not yet found time to read 'Dracula.

• No conocemos nuestra propia alma, y mucho menos la de los demás. Los seres humanos no van de la mano en todo el tramo del camino. Hay un bosque virgen en cada uno; un campo de nieve donde ni siquiera se conoce la huella de las patas de los pájaros. Aquí vamos solos, y nos gusta más así. Tener siempre simpatía, estar siempre acompañado, ser siempre comprendido sería intolerable.
