“Mountaineer Austin Howell believes in using the bare minimum when he climbs a cliff face... and that includes clothes.  The 29-year-old tackled Shortoff Mountain in Linville Gorge, North Carolina, wearing just a hat as his friend filmed the astonishing climb.  Howell, a personal trainer from Atlanta, Georgia, climbed 350ft up what is known as the Dopey Duck route without a stitch on.” – Chris Summers, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4101462/He-bare-ly-make-Brave-climber-ascends-terrifying-cliff-completely-NAKED.html

“Jim Morrison . . . Courtney Love . . . Rage Against the Machine . . . Alanis Morisette . . . Iggy Pop, Ozzy Osbourne, Robbie Williams, Queens of the Stone Age and the Red Hot Chili Peppers have also enjoyed stripping on stage . . .” – Philip Carr-Gomm, A Brief History of Nakedness, 2013, p. 209-210

“If I was unfortunate enough to have to talk to the police and am asked why I covered up, I would tell them I am a naturist and say I have no intention of upsetting anyone, that I cover up in order to avoid any misunderstanding about my intentions and out of consideration to people who may not understand the naturist lifestyle. . . I believe that the more that officials and the police know about us[naturists] the better relations will be and the less trouble we will have with them.” - David Gilderdale, http://www.bn.org.uk/activities/frn_experience

“My sister in-law asked me to paint her outside doors . . . and it was hot on the back deck . . . so I did it nude at the 3rd coat I took a break and then thought I better get dressed not more then 10-minutes later they showed up back home to see how things were going.  We were chatting she liked the color and said sorry about how hot it got I said joking back to her with no neighbors around I could have painted back here nude.  She said yea you could of and we all laughed.” – John E, https://www.truenudists.com/group/you-know-youre-a-nudist-/1/102144/

“Underwear is an insult to the kilt.” – Ollygrumps, https://www.truenudists.com/group/kilt-loving-nudists/1/27146/

 “Children should be receiving a sex education that teaches nudity is normal, as a way of reducing unhealthy and oversexualized attitudes to naked bodies . . . Children should know about how their bodies work . . . This should be done ideally by bringing up children in a naturist environment where body honesty is key . . . By suppressing something and keeping it hidden it means that nobody learns the truth.  Teenagers grow up thinking that a normal body is the one in the adverts or young men see pornography and take it from that.  No one knows what's normal anymore.” – Jess Staufenberg, http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/nudity-and-naturism-is-the-best-way-to-teach-sex-education-to-children-british-naturism-a7079206.html
