“And reach out for her healing hands,
Reach out for her healing hands.
There's a light, where the darkness ends.
Touch me now and let me see again,
Rock me now in your gentle healing hands.”

“Either give me your hand, or end it now, and put us both out of our misery”

“There's no point in comforting words, in telling her she'll be all right. She's no fool. Her hand reaches out and I clutch it like a lifeline. As if it's me who's dying instead of Rue.”

“And with tears of blood he cleansed the hand,
The hand that held the steel:
For only blood can wipe out blood,
And only tears can heal”

“Reaching out to me with your hands and feeling my fingers, i whisper on your lips my infinite desire of you.”

“That night I lay in bed, remembering the moment when her hand touched mine. I wondered what it would be like to have her touch me not by accident, to maybe have her let me touch her.”

“Slowly he lifted his hands in the darkness and held them in mid-air, the fingers spread weakly open. If he reached out with his hands, and if his hands were electric wires, and if his heart were a battery giving life and fire to those hands, and if he reached out with his hands and touched other people, reached out through these stone walls and felt other hands connected with other hearts -- if he did that, would there be a reply, a shock?”

“You touched my flawed life so gently with love
burning upward in dark steady flame
burning me, burning me into healing.”

“Sickness and healing are in every heart; death and deliverance in every hand.”

“At last he reached out and with a gentle hand, closed Valentine’s eyes.
", Shadowhunter," he said.”
