Chaste Wives

Famous quotes containing the words chaste and/or wives:

    They were more chaste in their ears than in the rest of their bodies.
    Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

    Traditionally, marriage involved a kind of bartering, rather than mutual inter-dependence or role sharing. Husbands financially and economically supported wives, while wives emotionally, psychologically and socially supported husbands. He brought home the bacon, she cooked it. He fixed the plumbing, she the psyche.
    Bettina Arndt (20th century)
