“Modesty died when clothes were born.”
Mark Twain
“Clothing, by nature practical, can be used unnaturally as a perpetual sexual covering for the body, thereby creating unrealistic ideas and immoral imaginations about nakedness, but God still lets a frank, nonsexual sight of the real thing cleanse the mind and restore sanity.”
David L. Hatton
“One does not kill oneself for love of a woman, but because love - any love - reveals us in our nakedness, our misery, our vulnerability, our nothingness”
Cesare Pavese

Otto von Bismarck
“We are ashamed of everything that is real about us; ashamed of ourselves, of our relatives, of our incomes, of our accents, of our opinions, of our experience, just as we are ashamed of our naked skins”
George Bernard Shaw
“The nakedness of woman is the work of God.”
William Blake
“No one ever kills himself for the love of a woman, but because love - any love - reveals us in our nakedness, our misery, our vulnerability, our nothingness.”
