...my belief in the sacrament of the Eucharist is simple: without touch, God is a monologue, an idea, a philosophy; he must touch and be touched, the tongue on flesh, and that touch is the result of the monologues, the idea, the philosophies which led to faith; but in the instant of the touch there is no place for thinking, for talking; the silent touch affirms all that, and goes deeper: it affirms the mysteries of love and mortality.

 
Andre Dubus
 

The sane man knows that he has a touch of the beast, a touch of the devil, a touch of the saint, a touch of the citizen. Nay, the really sane man knows that he has a touch of the madman. But the materialist's world is quite simple and solid, just as the madman is quite sure he is sane.

 
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
 

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose under heaven.

 
Pete Seeger
 

...a victim of bad medicine, bad air, bad food, farcical education, a despicable popular culture.

 
Anthony Burgess
 

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 Buscaglia
