- “When I was a kid, I wished all this. People would always say what do you wanna be when you grow up and my answer would be.. in the jungle, naked, friends with the animals. We’re in the jungle, I’m naked, and I’m friends with the animals. It doesn’t get any better than that.” — Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes (late member of music group “TLC”)

- “I find nothing wrong with the naked body.” — Moira Kelley (actress)

Historic Authors/Poets:
- “Adam and Eve entered the world naked and unashamed – naked and pure-minded. And no descendant of theirs has ever entered it otherwise. All have entered it naked, unashamed, and clean in mind. They entered it modest. They had to acquire immodesty in the soiled mind, there was no other way to get it.” — Mark Twain
- “Is not nakedness the indecent? No, not inherently. It is your thought, your sophistication, your fear, your respectability, that is indecent. There come moods when these clothes of ours are not only too irksome to wear, but are themselves indecent. Perhaps indeed he or she to whom the free exhilarating ecstasy of nakedness in Nature has never been eligible (and how many thousands there are!) has not really known what purity is – nor what faith or art or health really is.” — Walt Whitman
- “My children are being brought up in such a way that they don’t bat an eye at looking at anybody’s nakedness. They look at the so-called private parts the same way they look at an elbow or an ear. I think that’s entirely psychologically healthy. When they look at a person, they see the whole person, not the parts, like ordinary society does.” — Jim Cunningham
- “What boys really need are real bodies. They need to go to nudist parks and see middle-aged women who more closely resemble duffle bags than Playboy centerfolds. They need to know such real women personally and appreciate them for deeper reasons than how closely they conform to the Playboy lie… But since our culture foolishly fails to foster such wholesome customs, boys fall into the pornography trap. Not only does porn objectify females and ingrain in boys’ psyches an unrealistic ideal, but since its nature is erotic, by association, it acculturates boys to identify nudity with sex. By nature there is no such identification. Warped culture creates it artificially.” — Jim Cunningham
- “Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.” — Khalil Gibran
- “Some day people will grow up and realize that the only thing vile about human bodies is the small minds some people have developed within them.” — Dick Hein
Physicians:
- “Being natural and matter-of-fact about nudity prevents your children from developing an attitude of shame or disgust about the human body.” — Dr. Lee Salk (psychiatrist)
Naturists:
- “The demand that we always wear clothing while in society causes at least four kinds of alienation: it alienates us from ourselves, from others, from nature, and from the Divine.” — Mark Storey
- “Warning: Clothing has been shown to cause extreme psychological dependence. Wear it at your own risk.” — Ben Thornton
- “People often worry about the effect naturism has on children, but it is the children who love to be free of clothing and it is only the grown-ups who finally make them feel ashamed of their bodies.” — Roni Fine
- “There is no more meaningful time to be naked than when praying to God, since a state of nudity so very well depicts our true relationship with our creator. We kneel before Him, having nothing but the unclothed body that He fashioned for us. We are always naked in the eyes of God; not only our body, but our every thought, desire and deed lie exposed. I often pray in the nude simply because it seems so fitting.” — Father Kenneth Delano
- “When I’m naked I don’t have anything to hide. It’s just all me, and whatever part of myself I’m not satisfied with I still have to live with it because it’s just the way I am. It sort of forces me to accept myself completely, because in the end I wouldn’t change my body as long as it couldn’t be considered natural.” — Sivert Avaldi
