“For me, nudity is just relaxation.  Why bother being dressed when I can feel the sun on my skin?” - https://twitter.com/NakedisNormal15/status/726835942791757824

“Being part of Tunick’s installations provides an overwhelming sense of joy.  It is exhilarating to realize that we can break socially prescribed barriers.  Ultimately, the struggle is with ourselves: will we be brave enough to bare it all?  Once nude, the feeling of joy is indescribable.  From a purely physiological point of view, our ‘hormones of happiness’ – endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin – will be unleashed, with knock-on effects on the body, including boosting the immune system.” - Biologist Inês Varela-Silva, http://arizonavichi.tumblr.com/

“When you go to a nudist resort or a naturist park you bump into people you would never normally socialize or mix with because there is all manner of people from all walks of life.  We’ve met truckies, we’ve met a lot of police people, bankers, lawyers, antique dealers, financial planners, artists, all sorts of people.  It’s a real community. . . When you meet nudists you don’t know what type of car they drive, what type of house they live in, how much money they earn, what employment they have unless you start talking to that person.  It creates conversation, everyone is always really friendly, we socialize together in big groups, so it’s a great community.  We lay around in the nude and have a drink and laugh a lot.” – Ms Lidbury, http://www.bodyandsoul.com.au/beauty/body/why-i-love-being-nude-the-health-benefits-of-being-a-nudist/news-story/fbbade7601de6fc8c8c09a29725d69ed

“A group of San Francisco nudists took to the streets on February 12, for the second annual Nude Valentine’s Day Parade.  The parade began at noon in the Castro District, and the crowd made its way from Jane Warner Plaza to City Hall.  Nude activist Gypsy Taub released a statement . . . ‘We want to show the world that we are not afraid, that we are united in the name of love and that we have nothing to hide and nothing to be ashamed of . . . We want our naked bodies to demonstrate that we don’t fight with weapons nor violence, but with our hearts and minds using the power of our spirit and the power of love.  We don’t hide under military camouflage, nor do we cover our faces nor our bodies out of fear.  We are not afraid to just be ourselves in the name of love, in the name of freedom.’” - http://www.thesfnews.com/san-francisco-holds-second-annual-nude-valentines-day-parade/35615
