Quotes About Nakedness

The forms of the central and surrounding deities... should not be protruding like a clay statue or cast image, yet neither should they be flat like a painting. In contrast, they should be apparent, yet not truly existent, like a rainbow in the sky or the reflection of the moon in a lake. They should appear as though conjured up by a magician. Clear appearance involves fixing the mind one-pointedly on these forms with a sense of vividness, nakedness, lucidity, and clarity.

They do not forgive it. He turns away. This roaring air in his arms. She is released.
~ Anne Carson

For it seemed to her that to know everything about another was very hell, that marriage was a wretched state if this was what it entailed.

Unable to transcend ego, to be naked inside and out, or being left alone because passion is burnt out and when it is burnt out it is over in an instant, the men use violence - capture, murder, violent revenge.

The mirror was often used as a symbol of the vanity of woman. The moralizing, however, was mostly hypocritical.

~ John Berger
