Clare Boothe Luce
“PROJECTILE, n. The final arbiter in international disputes. Formerly these disputes were settled by physical contact of the disputants, with such simple arguments as the rudimentary logic of the times could supply --the sword, the spear, and so forth.

Its capital defect is that it requires personal attendance at the point of propulsion.”
Ambrose Bierce
“After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well.”

Walter Lippmann
“The modern nose, like the modern eye, has developed a sort of microscopic, intercellular intensity which makes our human contacts painful and revolting”
Marshall McLuhan
