“There is nothing in all the world more beautiful or significant of the laws of the universe than the nude human body. In fact it is not only among artists but among all people that a greater appreciation and respect for the human body should develop. When we respect the nude we will no longer have any shame about it.” — Robert Henri, The Art Spirit
“Seeing other naked bodies, though, did not make me feel disrespectful. It was wondrous. The shared ease made being human more palatable. And I soon realized there is nothing exhibitionist about being naked.” —Jeannette Cooperman https://commonreader.wustl.edu/c/naked-beneath-our-clothes/
“Naturism is freedom and body positivity carried out to its natural conclusion…The respect and dignity with which it approaches everybody is healthy, wholesome, and even godly.” Phillip Oak, Surprised into Freedom ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7T7WVGL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share )
