"We can lie in the language of dress or try to tell the truth; but unless we are naked and bald, it is impossible to be silent"

About this Quote
In this quote, author Alison Lurie is highlighting the power of clothing and look in communication. She recommends that we can either utilize our clothing to deceive and hide our true selves, or we can use it to express our authentic selves. Nevertheless, Lurie also mentions that even if we select to stay quiet and not use words, our clothing and appearance will still speak volumes about us. The only way to truly be quiet and not convey any message through our look is to be entirely exposed and removed of all clothing and hair. Lurie's words advise us of the continuous communication taking place through our look, whether we are aware of it or not.
