“I like myself.  I’m glad I’m me.  There’s no one else I’d rather be.  Life’s too short to wear boring clothes.” - https://twitter.com/WpgNudist?t=1&cn=ZmxleGlibGVfcmVjcw%3D%3D&refsrc=email&iid=3e0704b38af64b0e8ea0fe91b91847aa&uid=396523018&nid=244+276893709

“Our naked bodies, within naturism, become a matter of fact ‘normality’, with all mystique removed . . . it seems that the adolescent male, through naturism, has much of his curiosity answered in grown up understanding what an adult or adolescent female looks like naked. . . this leads to a greater sense of respect for females.  People growing up naturist appear to have a much deeper sense of respect for each other than they do growing up textile.” – Ella, https://slfkk.wordpress.com/

“I will start by talking about my personal embarrassments and one of my favorite places — the Niagara YMCA (Young ‘Men’s’ Christian Association). . . most of us swam in the nude. . . I’d shower and enter the pool for my laps. . . My routine was to run into the mostly empty pool room and immediately dive from the diving board and into the pool to immediately overcome the shock of the temperature change.  Then I would do my laps.  Thusly, I raced in to do what I always did on that particular Wednesday . . . I opened the door and ran out onto the diving board.  Despite the rough surface of the diving board, I slid nearly to the end of it before coming to a complete stop, nearly falling into the water before I turned, horrified, and raced back into the sanctity of the men’s shower room.  There was a different atmosphere in the pool that day.  Usually there were just a couple of nude swimmers taking their laps or lounging in the Jacuzzi; but this time, the room was unusually filled with both color and noise.  There were blues, yellows, greens, reds, pinks and purple one-piece and two-piece bathing suits, both in and out of the water.  The underlying noise consisted of the bass laughter of men and boys - while the shrilling voices of soprano mothers, and the alto shrieks of their little girls echoed and amplified off the room’s tiled walls.  It was Family Night at the ‘Y,’ and there I had stood on the diving board, as the saying goes, as naked as a jay bird. . . That was the most embarrassing moment of my life and it took me months before I returned to the Y.  But I did return, and always with a pair of swimming trucks.” – Ken Hamilton, Niagara Gazette

“If being nude makes people happy and the world needs more happiness, then the world also needs more nudity.” - http://centauri4-naturism.tumblr.com/post/154955911496/centauri4-naturism-naked-philosophy-if-being
