" There's power in the touch of another person's hand....Hands that wrap us in warmth, that hold us close. Hands that guide us to shelter, to comfort, to food. Hands that hold and touch and reassure us through our very first crisis, and guide us into our very first shelter from pain. The first thing we ever learn is that the touch of someone's hand can ease pain and make things better.
That's power. That's power so fundamental that most people never even realize it exists. "

― Jim Butcher , Skin Game (The Dresden Files, #15)
