“I think being accepting of your body is the most liberating thing ever.” - Marjon Carlos, Vogue Senior Fashion Writer, http://www.vogue.com/13485903/male-nude-sunbathing-vacation-tom-brady-orlando-bloom-justin-bieber/

“I foresee the realistic and practical feasibility of a CLOTHING OPTIONAL world rather than an entirely NUDE world.  Rank, occupation, and status according to each vocation and field must always be at least UNIFORMLY prominent and visible in order to keep the wheels of progress turning in our society . . . Therefore - it would be much better if all of us were given the legal liberty and given the permitted OPTION . . . of being nude in public only when we are at LEISURE, and not at work at our occupations.  In other words - Go to work at all of our jobs fully clothed and tend to the organization, PUBLIC SERVICE, and progress of our society.  When we are off from our jobs and from labor - then we could go nude during our time of leisure and recreation - take walks nude, go shopping nude, go to the movies nude, dine nude in restaurants and clubs, etc.  This is the way I would see it.” - Marc Umile, https://www.facebook.com/groups/nuddism

“Around this time every year, I begin to imagine what a year-round community space might look like that espouses and celebrates the ideals of naturism (respect for self, others and nature), especially in an urban environment that’s accessible to a large population.  In addition, I consider the financial viability of such a space and whether or not a business model could be created that’s sustainable, scalable and replicable. . . done right, [it] can yield amazing results.” - Joshua Williams, https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/urban-nudist-space-clubhouse-indoor-naturist-oasis/

“Every woman should pose nude at least once.  It gives you perspective.” - Singer/songwriter Judy Collins, http://www.modelmayhem.com/education/modeling/12424-why-you-should-pose-nude

“I was in the audience for the Australian Art Quartet's Butt-naked Salon concert at Sydney's Yellow House.  As the show began, the quartet came in and sat down. Nearby, multidisciplinary artist Clementine Robertson was lying motionless on a dais with vials of beetroot juice dripping all over her.  Then, in the silence, Batt-Rawden entered wearing a fluffy bathrobe, à la Muhammad Ali.  With him came Archibald Prize-winning artist Wendy Sharpe.  Batt-Rawden walked to a low white box, took off his robe, climbed onto the box, and struck a pose.  The quartet played, Robertson dripped, and Batt-Rawden stood starkers while Sharpe painted him onto the walls.  I can't tell you how weird this was.  Wonderful, and weird.” – Amanda Hooten, http://www.canberratimes.com.au/good-weekend/the-naked-man-why-composer-andrew-battrawden-was-nude-at-his-own-premiere-20160830-gr4eca.html
