"This hand - this professor of grasping, seizing, pulling, plucking, picking, pinching, pressing, patting, poking, prodding, fumbling, squeezing, crushing, throttling, punching, rubbing, scratching, groping, stroking, caressing, fingering, drumming, shaping, lifting, flicking, catching, throwing and much else besides - is the master tool of human life." - Raymond Tallis 'The Hand: A Philosophical Inquiry into Human Being'
