Touch Quotes
(25+ quotes)
Touch quotes speak of the power of being touched. From hugs to pats on the back, we crave touch. Babies can’t thrive without it. Touch quotes also address one of our most important senses.
It’s important to note the hunger for touch cannot be satisfied by material things. It is possible to be touched by words and actions. Have you been touched today? If not, consider giving out a hug or two, or schedule a massage. Make staying ‘in touch’ a priority.
