Touching Feeling

Famous quotes containing the words touching and/or feeling:

    Did she in touching that lone wing
    Recall the years before her mind
    Became a bitter, an abstract thing...?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I leave the governor’s office next week, and with it public life ... [which] has been on the whole a pleasant one. But for ten years and over my salaries have not equalled my expenses, and there has been a feeling of responsibility, a lack of independence, and a necessary neglect of my family and personal interests and comfort, which make the prospect of a change comfortable to think of.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
