Quote by Dew Pellucid

“Here we do not think that see-through skin is truthful because it lets you see the person inside, or that solid skin is wiser because it shuts out prying eyes. We do not think that dark skin is fairer, or fair skin is finer. We do not think of skin at all. We simply live in it, and let live in it.”
