“I do believe . . . that naturism is healthy . . . It promotes outside activity, like swimming and hiking, which are more enjoyable in the nude, and it forces us to take care of this thing we call a body, which naturists have profound respect for.” - Nick Alimonos, http://writersdisease.net/2012/07/03/what-naturism-means-to-me/

“Popular representations of nudism reduce it to a hippie-dippie lifestyle or something purely sexual.  But, as many nudists can attest . . . nudists just feel more comfortable when they're naked than they do when they're clothed.  It's as simple as that.” – Sara Coughlin, http://www.refinery29.com/2016/07/116680/nudist-life-national-nude-day?platform=hootsuite

“Raising your child as a nudist will help them build a strong personality which will help them fight the uncertainties that are waiting for them when they’ll reach puberty.  It will give them a more normalized idea of the naked body which will help them get a clearer idea about what they expect in relationships. . . By assuming nudity as normal within a family, you’re creating an openness that will become present in other facets of the child as well.  You create an atmosphere of honesty. . . It’s a great situation for a child to grow up in.” - http://www.nakedwanderings.com/2017/05/01/naked-child-happier-one/

“I took off my clothes, all of them, and hid them in a nearby tree stump.  Words cannot describe the acception of one's own nudity in a place where no one else was watching, no human eyes anyways.  I walked on in the warm sand and reached the woods, with soft grass and whispering trees.  Here I was at home, here I was me.” – EmilyGeek, https://www.truenudists.com/members/blogs/

“The most influential thing a supporter can right now do is to have quiet, reasonable and informed conversations about top freedom and equality with family and friends, no need to argue, that just scares people and they dig in, but listening and sharing.  That’s number one.” – Breastsarehealthy, https://breastsarehealthy.wordpress.com/2017/06/21/washington-post-and-baltimore-sun-offer-their-opinions-of-ocean-citys-emergency-ordinance/
