Quote by John Berger
Nakedness reveals itself. Nudity is placed on display. The nude is condemned to never being naked. Nudity is a form of dress.

Summary
This quote highlights the distinction between nakedness and nudity. It suggests that nakedness is a natural state, where one is simply without clothes, while nudity is the intentional act of being unclothed for the purpose of being observed or looked at. The quote further suggests that the act of being nude, or displaying one's nudity, removes the sense of naturalness and vulnerability that comes with being naked, and instead transforms it into a form of dress or presentation that can be judged or condemned by society.
