“…there is no nakedness that compares to being naked in front of someone for the first time.”
“Nakedness has no color: this can come as news only to those who have never covered, or been covered by, another naked human being.”
“the diversity of things, their individuality, were only an appearance, a veneer. This veneer had melted, leaving soft, monstrous masses, all in disorder—naked, in a frightful, obscene nakedness.”
“The first time you meet that someone special, you can count on them one day being dead and in the ground.”
“Does it bother you, me being half naked all the time?”
“It’s easy to take off your clothes and have sex. People do it all the time. But opening up your soul to someone, letting them into your spirit, thoughts, fears, future, hopes, dreams… that is being naked.”
