[Deleted User]queencuddler (deleted user)

Hello everyone! So I am a huge book-worm and here are some soul-food quotes on Touch and the Power of Touch.
Please feel free to share more on this thread if you find anymore!

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a
listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all
of which have the potential to turn a life around.”
― Leo F. Buscaglia

“Sometimes, reaching out and taking someone's hand is the beginning of a journey.
At other times, it is allowing another to take yours.”
― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

“ART

The world is full of confusion and contradiction. We cannot expect to do anything that is absolutely right. We can only measure rightness by the truth within ourselves. And our own truth will never be quite the same as somebody else's. I wish that I could touch you and be sure that it was the right thing to do. I only want to touch you briefly. Just once so that you will know. We are flesh and blood and full of faults. But we are also full of warmth. The world is full of confusion but there is compassion in its midst. communication via simple touch can transmit so much of us in just one minute. Like a painting or a piece of music. I want to touch your soul. I only wish I could be sure it was the right thing to do.”
― Jay Woodman, SPAN

“Touch is a freaky thing when you're not used to it. It makes you feel all kinds of things.”
― Neal Shusterman, The Schwa Was Here

“Before I learned the art of sensual living, a touch was just a touch, a kiss just a kiss. But after learning the art, these things started taking on a new meaning which was more essential to the soul.”
― Lebo Grand, Sensual Lifestyle

  • Tell me, in a world without pity
    Do you think what I'm askin's too much
    I just want something to hold on to
    And a little of that human touch
    Just a little of that human touch
    --Bruce Springsteen , Human Touch

    Afterward she lies nestled against me, her hair tickling my face. I stroke her lightly, memorizing her body. I want her to melt into me, like butter on toast. I want to absorb her and walk around for the rest of my days with her encased in my skin.

  • I went down to the place
    Where I knew she lay waiting
    Under the marble and the snow
    I said, Mother I'm frightened
    The thunder and the lightning
    I'll never come through this alone
    She said, I'll be with you
    My shawl wrapped around you
    My hand on your head when you go
    And the night came on
    It was very calm
    I wanted the night to go on and on

    Leonard Cohen, The Night Comes On
