QUOTES 3/9/2019

“There is no room for judgment in the naturist lifestyle, as eliminating clothing eliminates many prejudices of social status and fashion.  Naked we see more eye to eye, looking into each others hearts instead of our outward appearance.  Also, as someone who is bothered by certain clothing textures, naturism eliminates that problem.  This acts as a form of therapy for me. . . No body is perfect, yet every body is good.  In the clothing optional lifestyle people are treated with respect.” - http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/naturism-an-autistic-perspective/

“I'm quite lucky that I live in Europe.  Close to my home town, Alkmaar - Holland, you find so many opportunities to walk naked.  If you do so with a group, dressed people will not even react.  On the beaches you also find very good opportunities.  In Germany there is even an official naked hike trail, in The Harz mountains (Harzer Naturistenstieg).  Last week we were hiking with 23 people through the Austrian Alps.  No problem at all, we were even allowed to sit naked on a terrace of a restaurant.” – Roland, https://www.truenudists.com/forum/viewthread.php?id=21911&page=1

“In summer I walk around my own home without much on.  Or with nothing on.  We have fans instead of air conditioning and for that time, I feel completely unselfconscious.  I am old and getting older, but for these moments, my drooping breasts and dimpled thighs and stretch marks, my tattoos of motherhood, are free from scrutiny.  I'm free.” – Jenna Price, http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/news-and-views/opinion/fully-clothed-but-naked-as-the-day-i-was-born-20170110-gtotp8.html

“Keep wearing your smile which for a naturist is more important than clothing.” – Davie, http://www.naturist-corner.net/community/index.php?topic=21872.0;topicseen

“Nakedness makes a human being particularly vulnerable but in certain circumstances strangely powerful, which is why it has become so popular as a vehicle for political protest.  By exposing the human body, protestors convey a complex message: they challenge the status quo by acting provocatively, and they empower themselves and their cause by showing that they are fearless and have nothing to hide.  But at the same time they reveal the vulnerability and frailty of the human being.” – Philip Carr-Gomm, A Brief History of Nakedness, 2013, p. 12
