Chastity - the most unnatural of all the sexual perversions.

Summary

This quote is a provocative and satirical statement by British playwright and critic Oscar Wilde. It can be interpreted as a critique of societal norms and attitudes towards sexuality. Wilde challenges the conventional notion that chastity, often celebrated as a virtue, is actually "unnatural" because it represses natural sexual desires. In his characteristic witty style, Wilde highlights the absurdity of labeling abstention as perverse, suggesting that our understanding and acceptance of different sexual orientations and behaviors should evolve beyond narrow cultural norms and prejudices.

Schools and schoolmasters, as we have them today, are not popular as places of education and teachers, but rather prisons and turnkeys in which children are kept to prevent them disturbing and chaperoning their parent.

He bent down to her; their mouths met again, and the shock of sensation was so strong, so overpowering, that she shut her eyes against it as if she could hide in the darkness. He murmured and gathered her against him.

Nobody controls me. I'm uncontrollable. The only one who can control me is me, and that's just barely possible. And that's the lesson I'm learning. If someone's going to impress me, whether it be a Maharishi or a Yoko, then there comes a point where the emperor has no clothes 'cause I'm naive, but I'm not stupid. For all you folks out there who think I'm having the wool pulled over my eyes, well, that's an insult to me. But if you think you know me, or you have some part of me because of the music, and then you think I'm being controlled like a dog on a leash because I do things with her, then screw you, brother or sister, you don't know what's happening. I'm not here for you, I'm here for me and her, and now the baby.
