Quotes with prudishness

Quotes 1 till 1 of 1.

• Prudishness is pretense of innocence without innocence. Women have to remain prudish as long as men are sentimental, dense, and evil enough to demand of them eternal innocence and lack of education. For innocence is the only thing which can ennoble lack of education.

  Friedrich von Schlegel
  German man of letters and art critic (1772 - 1829)
