Don't Touch

"Don’t touch—make war. Don’t touch—be abstract, about God and death and life and love. Don’t touch—make war at a distance. Don’t touch your enemy, except to destroy him. Don’t touch, because in the touch of hand to hand is Michelangelo’s electric moment of creation. Don’t touch, because law and order have so decreed, limiting the touch of man to man, to the touch of nightsticks upon flesh…"
