“Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.”
“A woman half dressed seemed to have some power, but a man was simply not as handsome as when he was naked, and not as secure as when he was clothed.”
“If you cannot bear these stories then the society is unbearable. Who am I to remove the clothes of this society, which itself is naked. I don't even try to cover it, because it is not my job, that's the job of dressmakers.”
“Don't judge the people by their clothes.. however you might be able to do that spontaneously when they are naked.”
“Truman makes friends without influencing people,' noted Arthur Schlesinger Jr. 'Dewey influences people without making friends.”
“I wasn't really naked. I simply didn't have any clothes on.”
