Touched

Famous quotes containing the word touched:

“When my lover came to bed,
the knot came untied
all by itself.
My dress,
held up by the strings of a loosened belt,
barely stayed on my hips.
Friend,
that’s as much as I know now.
When he touched my body,
I couldn’t at all remember
who he was,
who I was,
or how It was.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

“Immediately aware that power had gone forth from him, Jesus turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my clothes?””
—Bible: New Testament, Mark 5:30.

“What was I saying? An Egyptian king
Once touched long fingers, which are not anything.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
