Catherynne M Valente Quotes

My Mistress Used To Say That You Couldn't Ever Really Be Naked Unless You Wanted To Be. She Said, 'Even If You've Taken Off Every Stitch Of Clothing, You Still Have Your Secrets, Your History, Your True Name. It's Quite Difficult To Be Really Naked. You Have To Work Hard At It. Just Getting Into A Bath Isn't Being Naked, Not Really. It's Just Showing Skin. And Foxes And Bears Have Skin, Too, So I Shan't Be Ashamed If They're Not.
