“There’s no shame in nudity.  It’s simply human. . . I’m an ‘out’ nudist.  I hope more will join me.  It’s time for society to realize it’s really not a fringe thing - we are your neighbors, dentists, auto mechanics, and friends.  It is time to legalize simple nudity.” - http://thoughtsonnaturism.tumblr.com/post/147517892012/thoughtsonnaturism-theres-no-shame-in-nudity

“[It has never] . . . needed much in the way of advertisement, since a certain kind of naturist - the kind who is looking for a holistic experience that goes far beyond stripping off for the beach - will always beat a path to its door. . . ‘I don't think people come to any club with a view to just taking their clothes off, or if they do, they find something deeper when they get there.’” – David Newnham/Iseult Richardson, https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2005/mar/05/weekend7.weekend4?CMP=twt_gu

“More often than not, Jessi Kneeland is naked.  She believes being unclothed is a ‘conscious act of trust and freedom’ and a representation that she feels safe in her body and authentic self.  But in a recent Facebook post, she’s wearing jeans and a long-sleeved, hooded sweatshirt and credits the sudden craving to cover up with being in a saddened emotional state.  ‘Some people stress eat.  Apparently I stress dress . . . The extra fabric seemed to hold and protect me from the world (and the mosquitos) while I processed my darkness.  They hid me while I couldn't bear being quite as visible.  They were an act of separation and armor.  Because sometimes you are ok being open and vulnerable and you wish you could commune skin to skin with all of humanity.  And other times you need a break.’” - https://www.yahoo.com/style/this-woman-who-loves-to-be-naked-puts-on-clothes-193935066.html, https://www.facebook.com/remodelfitnesswithjessikneeland/posts/491103227744943:0

“If you are wondering what kinds of things you can do naked, the answer is anything.” – Ron KrugJohann, https://twitter.com/ronkrugjohann/status/736589584331464704

“Protesting is a way to make nudism more accepted and make public nudity legal.  It must be done peacefully.  Doing it with violence makes things worse.  We can make signs and petitions to make nudism more advanced and for public nudity to be legalized.” - https://rfgjga1992.wordpress.com/2016/04/28/lets-do-all-this-to-promote-nudism/
