Unmask Ourselves

“Clothes put a barrier between our selves — which are our bodies— and the rest of the world. They not only prevent us from establishing contact with others but also from contact with our selves, serving as a first layer of disguise.” —Ashley Montegue “We insult ourselves by calling our bodies obscene, pornographic, lewd, base, dirty, immoral, or evil, and in so doing deny the basic truth of our own existence. Our anatomy is us— and it is none of those terrible things.”— Dennis Craig Smith with Dr. William Sparks “Removal of clothing helps to unmask the protective roles we tend to project socially.” —Barbara Roberts
