What a frail, easily hurt, rather pathetic thing a human body is, naked; somehow a little unfinished, incomplete!
D. H. LAWRENCE, Lady Chatterley’s Lover
Once we are aware that our nudity makes us objects of desire, we become naked.
CHLOE THURLOW, Katie in Love
I think onstage nudity is disgusting, shameful, and damaging to all things American. But if I were 22 with a great body, it would be artistic, tasteful, patriotic and a progressive religious experience.
SHELLEY WINTERS, attributed, The Audience Book of Theater Quotations
Being naked approaches being revolutionary; going barefoot is mere populism.
JOHN UPDIKE, On the Vineyard
There’s something therapeutic about nudity … Take away the Gucci or Levi’s and we’re all the same.

Nudity is the uniform of the other side … nudity is a shroud.
MILAN KUNDERA, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting
In the NUDE, all that is not beautiful is obscene.
ROBERT BRESSON, Notes on the Cinematographer
“There is a very delicate line between pornography and beauty. A naked woman is not necessarily pornographic; a naked man is not necessarily pornographic. A beautiful man, a beautiful woman, naked, can be examples of beauty, of health, of proportion. They are the most glorious products of nature. If a deer can be naked and beautiful—and nobody thinks the deer is pornographic—then why should it be that a naked man or woman cannot be just seen as beautiful?”
― Osho, Learning to Silence the Mind: Wellness Through Meditation
“If only my genitals didn’t float
When I relaxed in the bath
And we both looked down and we both agreed
It’s stupid to be a man”
― Leonard Cohen
“When I was growing up, in our house nudity was defined as the period of time between the shower and your towel.”
