„Touch me, touch the palm of your hand to my body as I pass,Be not afraid of my body.“

— Walt Whitman
„God can do anything. He has all power in the palm of His Hand. My Body, like all other bodies, is a temporary habitation; but, My Power is eternal, all-pervasive, ever-dominant.“
— Sathya Sai Baba
„My aim is to understand love. I know how alive I felt when I was in love, and I know that everything I have now, however interesting it might seem, doesn't really excited me.But love is a terrible thing: I've seen my girlfriends suffer and I don't want the same thing to happen to me. … Although my aim is to understand love, and although I suffer to think of people to whom I gave my heart, I see that those who touched my heart failed to arouse my body, and that those who aroused my body failed to touch my heart.“
— Paulo Coelho
„If soul may look and body touch,Which is the more blest?“
— W.B. Yeats
