Naked Quotes

Finding yourself in a hole, at the bottom of a hole, in almost total solitude, and discovering that only writing can save you. To be without the slightest subject for a book, the slightest idea for a book, is to find yourself, once again, before a book. A vast emptiness. A possible book. Before nothing. Before something like living, naked writing, like something terrible, terrible to overcome Picture Quote #1

The point is to strip down, get protestant, then even more naked. Walk over scorched bricks to find your own soul. Your heart a searching dog in the rubble Picture Quote #1

The years, the months, the days, and the hours have flown by my open window. Here and there an incident, a towering moment, a naked memory, an etched countenance, a whisper in the dark, a golden glow these and much more are the woven fabric of the time I have lived Picture Quote #1

They say asteroids hit the moon pretty often, which is how the moon gets its crater, but this one is going to be the biggest asteroid ever to hit it and on a clear night you should be able to see the impact when it happens, maybe even with the naked eye but certainly with binoculars. They made it sound pretty dramatic, but I still don’t think it’s worth three homework assignments Picture Quote #1

I’m not trying to be a middle aged centerfold, I just want to look at myself naked and not be disgusted Picture Quote #1

To see and feel one’s beloved naked for the first time is one of life’s pure, irreducible epiphanies. If there is a true religion in the universe, it must include that truth of contact or be forever hollow. To make love to the one true person who deserves that love is one of the few absolute rewards of being a human being, balancing all of the pain, loss, awkwardness, loneliness, idiocy, compromise, and clumsiness that go with the human condition. To make love to the right person makes up for a lot of mistakes Picture Quote #1

To live in a culture in which women are routinely naked where men aren’t is to learn inequality in little ways all day long Picture Quote #1

That cowboy had heartbreak written all over him and she’d be damned if she knew why every time he blew into town she ended up naked before he ended up gone. Reed always ended up gone Picture Quote #1

It was strange to be naked in front of anybody. It was like that cold water out there in the bay: scary, you didn’t think you could stand it, but then you plunged in and pretty soon you got used to it. There was enough hiding in life. Sometimes you just wanted to show somebody your tits Picture Quote #1

Azazello begged her not to worry, assuring her that he had seen not only naked women but also women with their skin flayed clean off Picture Quote #1

My definition of freedom is knowing who you are, and then being it. No matter what anyone else is doing. And naked parties of course Picture Quote #1

My mouth is a fire escape. The words coming out don’t care that they are naked. There is something burning in there Picture Quote #1

The truth has not so much set us free as it has ripped away a carefully constructed facade, leaving us naked to begin again Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

What happened was simple, even banal: I became naked, died, lost parts of my flesh and most of my ego along with a few illusions such as a belief in the uniqueness of my personal scrap of consciousness and the cosmic importance therof, and went on from there Picture Quote #1

Let this be our beautiful departure from stagnation; let our minds come alive; enter another dimension; go beyond the stars eagerly struggling to find that... which our naked eyes did not know existed; rise like a falcon born to soar and not be alone but be present amongst others Picture Quote #1

Death is a great revealer of what is in a man, and in its solemn shadow appear the naked lineaments of the soul Picture Quote #1

When someone steals another’s clothes, we call them a thief. Should we not give the same name to one who could clothe the naked and does not? The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry; the coat unused in your closet belongs to the one who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the one who has no shoes; the money which you hoard up belongs to the poor Picture Quote #1

Girls do not dress for boys. They dress for themselves, of course, each other. If girls dressed for boys, they’d just walk around naked at all times Picture Quote #1

Nothing is more humbling than to look with a strong magnifying glass at an insect so tiny that the naked eye sees only the barest speck and to discover that nevertheless it is sculpted and articulated and striped with the same care and imagination Picture Quote #1

When one past thought has ceased and a future thought has not yet risen, in that gap, in between, isn’t there a consciousness of the present moment;fresh, virgin, unaltered by even a hair’s breadth of a concept, a luminous, naked awareness? Well, that’s what naturally peaceful awareness is Picture Quote #1

I like ruins because what remains is not the total design, but the clarity of thought, the naked structure, the spirit of the thing Picture Quote #1

We can lie in the language of dress or try ot tell the truth; but unless we are naked and bald, it is impossible to be silent Picture Quote #1

The unmulched garden looks to me like some naked thing which for one reason or another would be better off with a few clothes on Picture Quote #1

True evangelical faith, cannot lie dormant, it clothes the naked, it feeds the hungry, it comforts the sorrowful, it shelters the destitute, it serves those that harm it, it binds up that which is wounded, it has become all things to all creatures Picture Quote #1

We all enter this world in the same way: naked, screaming, soaked in blood. But if you live your life right, that kind of thing doesn’t have to stop there Picture Quote #1

Fear doesn’t go away but you walk toward fear naked and the gate opens Picture Quote #1

You know what’s the most terrifying thing about admitting that you’re in love? You’re just naked. You put yourself in harm’s way and you lay down all your defences. No clothes, no weapons. Nowhere to hide, completely vulnerable. The only thing that makes it tolerable is to believe the other person loves you back and you can trust him not to hurt you Picture Quote #1

By walking naked you gain far more than coolness. You feel an unexpected sense of freedom from restraint. An uplifting and almost delirious sense of simplicity. In this new simplicity you soon find that you have become, in a new and surer sense, and integral part of the simple, complex world you are walking through. And then you are really walking Picture Quote #1
