One of the many things I learned at the end of that Classics corridor down which I ventured at the age of 18, in search of something I could not then define, was this, written by the Greek author Plutarch: What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality. That is an astonishing statement and yet proven a thousand times every day of our lives. It expresses, in part, our inescapable connection with the outside world, the fact that we touch other people’s lives simply by existing.

J. K. Rowling

If I simply live the principles that appear to be truth for me, I will touch the lives of those I am destined to touch.

Marlo Morgan

You have to accept that other people are not going to live their lives like you, and you have to find a way to achieve your goals while they are still existing and living their lives according to their choices.

Adam Conover

Sometimes we are tempted to be that kind of Christian who keeps the Lord’s wounds at arm’s length. Yet Jesus wants us to touch human misery, to touch the suffering flesh of others. He hopes that we will stop looking for those personal or communal niches which shelter us from the maelstrom of human misfortune and instead enter into the reality of other people’s lives and know the power of tenderness. Whenever we do so, our lives become wonderfully complicated and we experience intensely what it is to be a people, to be part of a people.

Pope Francis

I get to be creative and touch other people's lives.

Lisa Vidal

It's true: lives do drift apart for no obvious reason. We're all busy people,we can't spend our time simply trying to stay in touch. The test of a friendship is if it can weather these inevitable gaps.

William Boyd

... the ordinary is simply the universal observed from the surface, that the direct approach to reality is not without, but within. Touch life anywhereand you will touch universality wherever you touch the earth.

Ellen Glasgow

A business is simply an idea to make other people's lives better.

Richard Branson

When we say that black lives matter, it's not because others don't: it's simply because we must affirm that we are worthy of existing without fear, when so many things tell us we are not.

Clint Smith

I found that being online has opened a window for me to look into other people's lives... The greatest fear that I have is losing touch.

Queen Rania of Jordan

We're lucky as Drag Racers to have an opportunity to touch people's lives and in a lot of cases, change people's lives.

Chad Michaels

I just want to touch people's ears. I want to touch people's lives. I want to give them something they can release to towards their anger.

Richard Patrick

If there is a fundamental challenge within these stories, it is simply to change our lurking suspicion that some lives matter less than other lives.

Greg Boyle

The odds against life in the universe are simply astonishing. Yet here we are, not only existing, but talking about existing. What can account for it? Can every one of those many parameters have been perfect by accident? At what point is it fair to admit that science suggests that we cannot be the result of random forces?

Eric Metaxas

I'm not at all interested in simply reporting what's here right now, or cranking out an entertainment device that's going to touch the widest number of people. I'm interested in digging and excavating as deep as I can go into those small eternal moments and how they expand out, or close in, on the lives of my characters.

David Means

I also hope that I am occasionally involved in projects that touch other people in ways that make their lives a little better, more interesting for the moment, that makes them think.
