Quote by John Donne

Full nakedness! All my joys are due to thee, as souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be, to taste whole joys.

Full nakedness! All my joys are due to thee, as souls unbodi

Summary

This quote expresses the perspective that complete vulnerability and openness, symbolized by "full nakedness," is essential in experiencing true and uninhibited joy. The comparison of "souls unbodied" and "bodies unclothed" suggests that just as souls are liberated from physical limitations, so too are bodies when devoid of clothing, allowing for a more profound and unadulterated connection with joy. The quote implies that embracing vulnerability and embracing one's true self is a gateway to experiencing the fullest and most authentic form of joy.

I have always taken as the standard of the mode of teaching

I have always taken as the standard of the mode of teaching and writing, not the abstract, particular, professional philosopher, but universal man, that I have regarded man as the criterion of truth, and not this or that founder of a system, and have from the first placed the highest excellence of the philosopher in this, that he abstains, both as a man and as an author, from the ostentation of philosophy, i.e., that he is a philosopher only in reality, not formally, that he is a quiet philosopher, not a loud and still less a brawling one.
