“The clothes have no emperor.”

“It is not always a question of the Emperor having no clothes on. Sometimes it is, 'Is that an Emperor at all?”

“It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothes. But a half-wit remains a half-wit, and the emperor remains an emperor.”

“The emperor is naked!"The parade stopped. The emperor paused. A hush fell over the crowd, until one quick-thinking peasant shouted:"No, he isn't. The emperor is merely endorsing a clothing-optional lifestyle!”

“When truthsayers have the courage to say the emperor is wearing no clothes, whether you agree with their point of view or not, send them love. They are to be acknowledged for speaking their truth.”

“...like the emperor striding confidently along without clothes, convinced by them and their inward monitions that their criticism is effecting changes in society.”
