They Hide Us

“Your clothes conceal much of your beauty, yet hide not the unbeautiful. Though you seek in garments the freedom of privacy, you may find them a harness and chain. Would that you could meet the sun and the wind with more of your body and less of your raiment.” —Khalil Gibran, The Prophet 

“We have come into the world naked, and all the animals are naked, why should man hide his body behind clothes?” —Osho

“Textiles do not so much make us as hide us.” —Jeannette Cooperman https://commonreader.wustl.edu/c/naked-beneath-our-clothes/
