Craft must have clothes, but truth loves to go naked.

Summary

This quote suggests that when it comes to artistic craftsmanship, there is a need for skill and technique, represented by "clothes". However, when it comes to expressing truth, it is best presented in its raw and unadorned form, symbolized by "going naked". In other words, while craftsmanship can enhance the beauty and presentation of art, truth should be conveyed honestly and directly without any embellishments or artifice. This quote highlights the importance of authenticity and the power of unadulterated truth in artistic expression.
