“Having the freedom to clothe your own body in the way you see fit, and not from the dictates of prudish, guilty and shameful thoughts, is a step towards personal freedom for everybody.  We actually can use our own bodies and minds in the way we each choose, but we need to believe in this as individuals, and to know this as an inalienable civil right.” – Richard Foley, http://pub.rfi.net/naked-or-nude/

“It’s unhealthy for naturists to gather together to drink and smoke as if getting naked somehow encourages these obviously unhealthy practices.  On the contrary, naturism discourages these nasty habits.  It's unhealthy for naturists to neglect mental and spiritual stimulation, and hide from others.  Demonstrating that they are different, not sheeple, by stepping outside the constraints of society and culture, and rejecting the negative effects of textilism and sexual perversion, naturists should be seekers after all truth and leaders and teachers and missionaries.  All of these healthy behaviors and attitudes are important to ‘real’ naturism, and neglecting them has been an unhealthy change to the practice of naturism.  It’s time again to re-emphasize health in naturism.” - Kenfreehiker

“The problem with many nudists is that they are stuck in some mindset that nudists and naturists are somehow not allowed to have fun and express themselves like much of the rest of society.  Petanque tournaments and pot luck dinners are not the sort of activities that most people find fun.” – Nudiarist

“I think of skin as having various favorable and unfavorable connotations: it brings pleasure and also pain, it can be something beautiful but it loses its beauty as it ages, it can be a source of pride and vanity but it also brings shame and limitations, it protects us but it also imprisons us.” - Sean Tobin, http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/lifestyle/arts/our-skin-protects-us-but-also-imprisons-us

“The human body naturally tells the story about the life of its author without words, whether it be covered with layers of beautification, labels of expression, inked in forms of art or simply scarred through wounds once conquered.” - Melissa Dejanude, https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/nude-for-thoughts/

“Of course, nude sunbathing is OK for ANYONE who wants to.  It feels wonderful, is healthy and builds self-esteem.  If you don't like the way we look, then don't look!” – Richpasco, http://www.vogue.com/13485903/male-nude-sunbathing-vacation-tom-brady-orlando-bloom-justin-bieber/
