“Deciding to be naked — whether you let others see you or not — is an empowering decision precisely because it involves vulnerability.  Taking off your clothes means facing down your own body, and while not everyone finds that to be a confidence-booster, the very act of confronting yourself can be liberating. . . Plus, regular ‘contact’ with your own body brings a heightened awareness of it, something that can inspire you to pay more attention to it and treat it with more love.  And viewing ourselves with compassion is one of the most important (and most fun) things we can do.” – Amanda Chatel, http://mic.com/articles/112782/there-s-good-news-for-people-who-just-love-being-naked

“The custom of wearing a bathing suit, a desperate attempt to recapture some of our lost innocence, represents a graphic expression of white man’s hypocrisy.  For, obviously, the bathing suit is irrelevant to any activity in and under water.  It neither keeps us dry or warm, nor is it an aid to swimming.  If the purpose of bathing is to get wet, the bathing suit does not make us wetter.  At best, it is a social dress, like the dinner jacket.” - Bernard Rudofsky, http://hijacked.com.au/whats-the-big-deal-with-nudists

“No one actually likes jigsaw puzzles, but if you're naked they become slightly more tolerable.” - http://www.cosmopolitan.com/style-beauty/fashion/advice/g3702/30-things-to-do-naked/

“We can make the future a lot more nudist and then many people frown upon clothing and not nudity.  We need to get together and make a nude-friendly world.  Nudism is indeed for everyone. It doesn’t matter who one is, nudism is for all, and does not discriminate.  Let’s positively promote nudism and we have even more nudists each time until the whole world population is nudist again.” - Randomfactsgeekjga, https://rfgjga1992.wordpress.com/2016/01/12/why-are-we-taught-shame-about-nudity-and-our-bodies/

“I have been caught walking naked in the public forest areas and along textile beaches a couple of times.  Most of the time people would just ignore and move past quickly.  I also keep walking as if there is nothing unusual.  Although it is quite a thrill to walk past naked in front of others.  I feel my heart beating quickly at such time.  It has been only once that the guy actually stopped and laughed, and asked me what I was doing naked in the area.  I also stopped and told him I am a nudist and like to take a naked walk in the area.  We chatted briefly and left for our ways.” – Dforsgren, https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=132&idt=58667&page=2
