Because God loves to feel things through our hands.” ~ Elizabeth Gilbert

Today, in front of a box office not yet open, hand in hand crackled the hangdog old man and the dainty old woman. The film promised love.” ~ Gunter Grass

It hasn’t even begun.” Riley took Alice’s bare foot in her hand and squeezed it. “I told him, though, that he better be good to you. When you came along, I said I’d share you, but I told him to remember that you’re my sister. I loved you first.”” ~ Ann Brashares
