These are lovely quotes, they look like they're from St. Alphonsus Liguori's "The Glories of Mary"?
Yes, I agree! But the quotes are actually from here, sniped from one of Fr. Wathen's radio broadcasts. I am posting them this way to help keep this thread "bumped."

“The price of chastity may be estimated by the answer of Mary to the Archangel Gabriel: How shall this be done, because I know not man? (Luke 1:34) By these words she showed her readiness to renounce the offered dignity of Mother of God rather than forfeit her virginal integrity.” — St. Alphonsus Liguori, True Spouse of Jesus Christ, the Merit of Virgins consecrated to God

“How many miserable men” explains St. Lawrence Justinian, “with tears, after many years spent in the solitude of a desert, in meditations, fasting and penitential austerities, have, for the sake of sensual indulgence, left the desert and have lost chastity, and God”.

The immodest man is odious to every one, and is not aware of it. God has set the mark of ignominy on his forehead, and he is not ashamed; he has a face of brass and a heart of bronze; it is in vain you talk to him of honour, of virtue; he is full of nothing but arrogance and pride. The eternal truths, death, judgment, paradise, hell, — nothing terrifies him, nothing can move him.

— St. John Mary Vianney, on Luxury (love of pleasures that are contrary to purity), from "The Spirit of the Curé of Ars", 1865.
