1 " Our emotions can be either corrupted or elevated. Human love was not created to be without premeditated purpose. "
― Manis Friedman , Doesn't Anyone Blush Anymore?: Reclaiming Intimacy, Modesty, and Sexuality
2 " It's like the old question, "Do you lock your house to keep people out, or to protect what's inside?" Should a person act modestly and dress modestly in order to prevent intrusion from the outside, undesirable things from happening, or to preserve and maintain what is inside: the delicate and sensitive ability to have and maintain an intimate relationship. "
3 " It’s true you can’t get everything you want from one person, but then, who says you need everything? Where did you get the idea you deserve everything? The issue is not what you deserve. The issue is, whom are you here to serve? Yourself, or your spouse? Yourself, or God? "
4 " The purpose of modesty is not to hide ourselves from view; the purpose of modesty is to preserve our intimacy. "
5 " The loving person doesn’t wait. He doesn’t react; he initiates. He has a capacity to love. "
6 " As soon as we trespass where we haven’t been invited, we destroy the boundaries and dissipate the intimacy. In such an environment, our relationships cannot flourish. "
7 " The real thing is now. Now that all the excitement has settled down, there are two people who are responsible to one another, who can love each other and respect each other. That’s real. "
8 " You can use your mind to deal with your feelings and emotions, and train them to respond to intelligence. "
