"You do not understand. Last night we..."
"... honored your dead and the gods who made you both. Xhondo did the same. I had the child, else I would have been with him. All you Westerosi make a shame of loving. There is no shame in loving. If your septons say there is, your seven gods must be demons. In the isles we know better. Our gods gave us legs to run with, hands to touch and feel. What mad cruel god would give a man eyes and tell him he must forever keep them shut, and never look at all the beauty in the world? Only a monster god, a demon of darkess." Kojja put her hands between his* legs. "The gods gave you this for a reason too, for... what is your Westerosi word?"
"Fucking," Xhondo offered helpfully.
"Yes, for fucking. For the giving of pleasure and the making of children. There is no shame in that."

Quoted from George R. R. Martin's book A Feast for Crows, the fourth book of the saga A Song of Ice and Fire.
It is a part of the story where a captain of a ship is addressing a young Crow of the Night's Watch for feeling shame after breaking his wows (in particular: the part about not keeping a wife and not fathering children) with a girl, during a voyage on this ship.
* I altered this word, exchanging the name of the character that stands here originally for the word "his", in order to avert reavealing too much of the content of the story.
