“Nude Vacation Photos! - Why should we be ashamed about our nude vacations and adventures?  It takes guts and bravado to live life without clothing.  Don’t hide it!  If we hide it or are ashamed by our nudity, it only increases the notion that it is something to be ashamed about.  Don’t reinforce something we know isn’t true.  Next time we talk to our children or friends about our vacations, don’t leave out the part about leaving out the clothing.  If anything, it’ll only make it that much more interesting.  Who knows?  They may just join us on our next trip.” - http://thenakedtao.tumblr.com/post/122850873657/nude-vacation-photos-why-should-we-be-ashamed

“When a politician says ‘there's more pressing issues’ than nudist rights, say bullshit.  FREEDOM is ALWAYS our most pressing issue!” - https://twitter.com/socalnaturist/status/767870379226374144

“Pleasure – including that derived from being naked – is a human need . . . It becomes a problem only when its pursuit interferes with the satisfaction of other needs – one’s own or those of others.  The need that some people feel for the pleasure of being naked should be respected just as much as other more common pleasures, such as may be derived from music, art, humor, good food, and social interaction.” -  https://naturistphilosopher.wordpress.com/2016/06/07/is-there-a-human-need-for-being-naked/

“When it comes to our birthday suits, young people are more comfortable than ever with seeing and being seen.  A 2014 Pew survey found that 44% of people aged 18-24 reported that they received sexts . . . while 15% reported sending one.  That number is almost double the 2012 sexting rates, where only 26% of that age group reported receiving a sext. . . At this rate, 2028 presidential candidates won’t be trying to bury nude photos– they’ll be debating in nothing but red and blue ties.  Everywhere you look, naked is the new normal.” – Charlotte Alter, http://time.com/3456891/jennifer-lawrence-nude-photo-vanity-fair/

“Don't waste time worrying what other people think.  Be bold, be brave, be a naturist!” – https://twitter.com/ohionaturist/status/813754478000226305

“Naturism has nothing to do with swingers.  Naturism is feeling good about yourself, feeling confident, being open, honest and free.  A Naturist is accepting of others, no matter what their shape, size, color or gender, knowing that all bodies are beautiful.” – Naturist Fab, https://sparxx2u.wordpress.com/2016/07/04/is-social-media-a-good-promotional-tool-for-naturists/
