“Outdoor enthusiasts everywhere celebrate the longest day of the year by trading in their typical wool and synthetic prisons in favor of their birthday suit.  One of the many reasons people find themselves wandering in the woods is to find an escape.  They want to depart from the monotony of society to feel free and connect with nature.  There’s no faster way to feel that connection then by dropping trou, leaving those man-made fabrics behind, and treating yourself to an exhilarating romp through the wilderness.” - Ken Howell, http://appalachiantrials.com/hike_naked_day_2015/

“Have we really reduced the acceptance of social nudity to the legend of two people in a garden, a serpent, and an apple?  Or have we simply come to assume that God loathes the very creation that artists have revered as the epitome of beauty; most worthy of celebration for the entire history of Art as we know it? . . . I think it’s all very confusing.” - https://meanderingnaturist.wordpress.com/2013/06/03/naked-is-reverent-or-naked-is-sin/

“Fina is 79 years old, and five years ago she left her life in Barcelona behind to become a nudist.  After her husband died, she sold their apartment, packed all her things and moved to El Fonoll—a town in Catalonia, that is also one of the most famous naturist communes in Spain. . . ‘Naturism is a way of life.  But the desire to live that way has to come from deep inside.  I've been like this since a very young age.  My husband and I would often go to nudist beaches.  It might sound cliché but life's too short and some days are cloudy.  We have to enjoy the rest of them—the sunny days.  Maybe this little fly will die in the next minute but as long as it's flying, it seizes the day’. . .” - Alba Carreres, http://www.vice.com/en_au/read/at-74-i-left-everything-behind-to-become-a-nudist-876

“While dermatologists and sunscreen manufacturers have made it their mission to convince the world that sun exposure causes cancer, this is all a big lie.  Sunlight is not the primary cause of skin cancer.  In fact, sunlight actually prevents cancer! . . .In addition to melanoma, there are at least 13 other cancers that seem to be positively affected by sunlight.  Most notably are breast cancer, colon cancer, and ovarian cancer.” – Elyn Jacobs, https://thetruthaboutcancer.com/sun-exposure-cancer/?gl=582828491&mpweb=144-1473256-442413327
