“Could truth perhaps be a woman who has reasons for not permitting her reasons to be seen? Could her name perhaps be--to speak Greek--Baubo?... Oh, those Greeks! They understood how to live: to do that it is necessary to stop bravely at the surface, the fold, the skin, to adore the appearance, to believe in forms, in tones, in words, in the whole Olympus of appearance! Those Greeks were superficial--out of profundity!” BelieveReasonWholeTruthFormNamesSpeakUnderstoodSkinsAppearanceSurfaceGreekToneSuperficialAdoreFoldsProfundityOlympus Author:Friedrich Nietzsche

“If I describe a person's physical appearance in my writing, which I often do, especially in fiction, I never say someone is "black" or "white."

“Our skin, our borders, all seem petty compared to alien races and the scale of galaxies. Nobody in the Star Wars universe cares about white or black humans, it seems, and what meaning could physical appearance possibly have when there are sentient beings that look like lobsters or like Jabba the Hutt? Unfortunately, in the real world, such hopeful sentiments are regularly refuted by our stubborn insistence on always finding someone to discriminate against.” WorldWarRealCareUniverseBlackSkinsAppearanceAliensHopefulSentimentsReal WorldStubbornGalaxyInsistenceFinding SomeonePhysical Appearance Author:Garry Kasparov
“Is not the most erotic portion of a body where the garment gapes? In perversion (which is the realm of textual pleasure) there are no "erogenous zones" (a foolish expression, besides); it is intermittence, as psychoanalysis has so rightly stated, which is erotic: the intermittence of skin flashing between two articles of clothing (trousers and sweater), between two edges (the open-necked shirt, the glove and the sleeve); it is this flash itself which seduces, or rather: the staging of an appearance-as-disappearance.” TwoBodyPleasureExpressionSkinsEdgesAppearanceFoolishShirtsRealmsZoneArticlesClothingsPortionsFlashEroticGarmentsPsychoanalysisSleevesGlovesSeducingSweatersPerversionDisappearanceTrousersStaging Author:Roland Barthes
“Afterward, I curl around her. We lie in silence until darkness falls, and then, haltingly, she begins to talk...She speaks without need or even room for response, so I simply hold her and stroke her hair. She talks of the pain, grief, and horror of the past four years; of learning to cope with being the wife of a man so violent and unpredictable his touch made her skin crawl and of thinking, until quite recently, that she'd finally managed to do that. And then, finally, of how my appearance had forced her to realize she hadn't learned to cope at all.” ThinkingMenNeedsYearsMadePainPastLyingFallSpeakRealizingRoomsGriefSilenceDarknessFourWifeHairHorrorSkinsResponseAppearanceViolentFour YearsStrokesUnpredictableCurls Author:Sara Gruen
