Celibacy, like the fly in the heart of an apple, dwells in perpetual sweetness, but sits alone, and is confined and dies in singularity; but marriage, like the useful bee, builds a house, and gathers sweetness from every flower, and labors and unites
Jeremy Taylor
The vow of celibacy is a matter of keeping one`s word to Christ and the Church. a duty and a proof of the priest`s inner maturity; it is the expression of his personal dignity.
Pope John Paul II
I have stepped off the relationship scene to come to terms with myself. I have spent most of my adult life being `someone`s girlfriend`, and now I am happy being single.
