"[...]virginity is the practical method in the science of the Divine life[...]"

"Now we declare that Virginity is man's ''fellow-worker'' and helper in the achieving the aim of this lofty passion. In other sciences men have devised certain practical methods for cultivating the particular subject; and so, I take it, virginity is the practical method in the science of the Divine life, furnishing men with the power of assimilating themselves with spiritual natures." (De Vir., NPNF, p. 550)
