“Man has a deep-seated impulse to be naked. Most of us do not recognize this impulse because of our training and traditions. It is suppressed from early childhood and if we feel it, we consider it as evil. We all know the delight of children at being undressed, a perfectly natural delight.—Hartman, Fithian, & Johnson 1970, 1991
“The enemy sought to split the body from the integrated whole of our being. As such, he could then use it through his lies (about nudity being sinful) to tear down the image of God to satisfy and elevate himself. “ —J.Ewing
“Be glad, my merry friends, and let the warm sunlight heat now heart and limb! Cast off these cold rags! Run naked on the grass, while Tom goes a-hunting!” Tom Bombadil in J.R.R.Tolkien’s ‘Lord of the Rings’
