“I keep repeating the conversation with Taduesz in mind, reaching out to touch it to make sure it doesn't disappear.”

“Before you leave this earth make sure you reach out and touch one’s soul with your spirit in kindness. Make a profound difference in humanity.”

“You want to keep looking?" I asked."Yeah, maybe.""I'll leave you to it, then." I started for the door."No." He said it quickly, and reached for my arm, but stopped before he touched me. "I mean, if you're tired, sure, but you don't have to."Derek doesn't want her to leave ♥”

“The conversations rests uneasily; one doesn't expect good-byes to be burdened by such trivialities. This is not how it is in the books, he thinks, or in the theater, and he feels the need to speak of mission, of duty, of love. They reach home and close the door and he doesn't drop her hand. Where speech fails, touch compensates.”

“I reached out and touched his hands and they stilled at once. I had observed—although I did not often make use of the fact—that there were times when a touch could say things that words could not.”

“Surely only boring people went in for conversations consisting of questions and answers. The art of true conversation consisted in the play of minds.”
