Bare Quotes

Quotes on stripping things down to what's real.

One quote treats baring your fangs as an occasional necessity, and another uses 'bare' to describe total honesty in music, calling the result genuinely naked. That instinct toward exposure connects loosely to Bare Feet quotes elsewhere on the site.

You have to bare your fangs once in a while.

Quotes by William Bratton

In my music, I bare it all; it's really naked.

Quotes by Robert Musil
