Pope John Paul II
“The lust of the flesh directs these desires [of personal union], however, to satisfaction of the body, often at the cost of a real and full communion of persons.”
Pope John Paul II, Blessed are the pure of heart: Catechesis on the Sermon on the Mount and writings of St. Paul

Fulton J. Sheen
“These people who are always talking, reading, and thinking about sex are like singers who think more about their larynx than about singing. They make that which is subordinate to a higher purpose so all important that the harmony of life is upset.”
Fulton J. Sheen, Victory Over Vice
