Vincenzo Cuoco (1770–1823) Italian historian and writer
Se l'arte dell'eloquenza è l'arte di persuadere, non vi è altra eloquenza che quella di dire sempre il vero, il solo vero, il nudo vero. Le parole, onde è necessità di nostra inferma natura di rivestire il pensiero, saranno tanto più potenti, quanto più atte al fine, cioè più nudo lasceranno il vero, che è nel pensiero.
Platone in Italia
“Love is naked, and loves not beauty gained by artifice.”
Nudus Amor formam non amat artificem.
