Touch Quotes
Efficiency of a practically flawless kind may be reached naturally in the struggle for bread. But there is something beyond a higher point, a subtle and unmistakable touch of love and pride beyond mere skill; almost an inspiration which gives to all work that finish which is almost art which is art.
Joseph Conrad
When you put your hand in a flowing stream, you touch the last that has gone before and the first of what is still to come
Leonardo da Vinci
He had a sensation of anxiety and shame, a sensitivity acute beyond usefulness, as if the nervous system, flayed of its old hide of social usage, must record every touch of pain
John Updike
All our steps in creating or absorbing material of the record proceed through one of the senses the tactile when we touch keys, the oral when we speak or listen, the visual when we read. Is it not possible that some day the path may be established more directly?
Vannevar Bush
Anxiety is part of creativity, the need to get something out, the need to be rid of something or to get in touch with something within.
David Duchovny
Upward my face I turn to you, I long for you, I yearn to you, The spectral vision trances me to utt'rance wild and weak; It is not that I mourn you, To mourn you were to scorn you, For you are one step nearer to the beauty singers seek. But I want, and cannot see you, I seek and cannot find you, And, see! I touch the book of songs you tenderly left behind you!
Robert Williams Buchanan
I could almost hear him scrabbling about in his brain for a deft, light opening. His Oscar Wilde touch. Martland has only two personalities Wilde and Eeyore.
Cyril Emmanuel George Bonfiglioli
There are no limits to either time or distance, except as man himself may make them. I have but to touch the wind to know these things.
Hal Borland
Reach for the stars. Although you will never touch them, if you reach hard enough, you will find that you get a little star dust on you in the process.
Norman Ernest Borlaug
We have all the elements of being the worst band in the world: a bass player whos got some slap-bass shit, heavy riff guitars, a DJ scratching on the songs, a crazy drummer, and a singer whos in touch with his feminine side. Even our band name is the worst name ever: it evokes imagery of Incubus in death-metal writing, with bullet belts across our chests.
Brandon Boyd
In touch! There's a slimy phrase. Touch, hell. Gripped! Pawed, rather. Mauled and massaged and pounded by FM voices.
Ray Douglas Bradbury
Do not all charms fly at the mere touch of cold philosophy? There was an awful rainbow once in heaven: we know her woof, her texture; she is given in the dull catalogue of common things. Philosophy will clip an angel's wings, conquer all mysteries by rule and line, empty the haunted air, and gnome mine unweave a rainbow.
John Keats
There are some people who have the quality of richness and joy in them and they communicate it to everything they touch. It is first of all a physical quality; then it is a quality of the spirit.
Thomas Wolfe
Do not speak harshly to any one; those who are spoken to will answer thee in the same way. Angry speech is painful: blows for blows will touch thee.
Buddha
A single God ñ touch From GodÃs Compassion ñ Height Can transform manÃs unimaginable And countless weaknesses Into GodÃs own infinite,Immortal and omnipotent Power.
Sri Chinmoy
