Quotes

We have all heard some of the favorite quotes about nudity, such as "If God had wanted us to be nude, we would have been born that way."
If you have some quotes, place them here--and attitribute the quip to the one who originally said it, if you know. And if you have a good line, please contribute.
"Because God created it, the human body can remain nude and uncoveredand preserve intact its splendor and beauty" -- Pope John Paul II

that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful than
the garment with which it is clothed? Michelangelo

As souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be,
To taste whole joys." -John Donne
