Purity is not imposed upon us as though it were a kind of punishment, it is one of those mysterious but obvious conditions of that supernatural knowledge of ourselves in the Divine, which we speak of as faith. Impurity does not destroy this knowledge, it slays our need for it.

Purity is the feminine, truth the masculine of honor.

I haven't got purity, and I don't think I ever did. I have always been, even as a child, a very decadent little person.

I like to push myself to achieve a certain quality, eliminate the excess detail. I always want a high degree of purity.

As to the pure all things are pure, even so to the impure all things are impure.

Purity of heart is to will one thing.

He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver.

Purity engenders Wisdom, Passion avarice, and Ignorance folly, infatuation and darkness.

Life does not need to mutilate itself in order to be pure.

Imagine if someone like John Lennon or Bob Marley, Sid Vicious, Picasso, whomever, were doing their work, and some corporation, some CEO, some branding entity was saying to you, 'Well, you can do that, but you've got to remove this aspect of your work.' There would no longer be that purity anymore.
