“It literally took minutes for me to realize that nakedness isn’t anything to be afraid of.  It is what it is.  I wouldn’t say that I love being naked now, but I also wouldn’t say that I love wearing clothes, so I think for me, clothes wearing and nakedness are closer to being on a par with each other than they were before . . . I’m certainly not afraid of being naked anymore.” - http://www.fullydisclothed.com/mags-leah#0

“I can think of no other, more personal decision than what I choose to wear, if anything at all.  Last time I checked, no one has ever been killed by the sight of a nipple or a penis. . . Why is the sight of the human body, something that has never harmed anyone, deemed illegal and offensive, while owning a device that exists for no other purpose but to kill regarded an inalienable right?” - Nick Alimonos, https://writersdisease.net/category/naturism/

“The problem is not the nudity, but the unexpected nature of it . . . People are surprised by naturism and their minds turn to 'what are they doing?'  But naturists [are just] enjoying the sunshine on their skin. . . it's wrong to make the assumption that everyone should be shocked by naturism. . . Our challenge is the culture and not the law.  Sometimes it's applied well and sometimes badly - like when a naturist is doing something legal, but they get taken in to custody.” - Andrew Welch, http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/uk-nudism-naturism-rules-etiquette-490511#.UeRMGvQM2wk.wordpress

“I photographed a young man who was particularly overweight.  He was very self-conscious about his body.  He decided to become a nudist to attempt to accept himself and be happy.” - Laura Pannack

“Open nudity is a step by step process, and once you get comfortable staying nude for 15 minutes after a shower, then try 30 minutes of chores around the home, or 60 minutes of studying and homework; each of these simple tasks done without clothing challenge a person to be more ‘in touch’ with themselves.  Redefining what it means to be comfortable as a human being, gradually, purposefully.  Nakedly.” - http://centauri4-naturism.tumblr.com/post/136241054306/how-can-i-practice-nudism
