THE GREATEST SENSE IN OUR BODY IS OUR TOUCH SENSE. IT IS PROBABLY THE CHIEF SENSE IN THE PROCESS OF SLEEPING AND WAKING; IT GIVE US OUR KNOWLEDGE OF DEPTH OR THICKNESS AND FORM; WE FEEL, WE LOVE AND HATE, ARE TOUCHY AND ARE TOUCHED, THROUGH THE TOUCH CORPUSCLES OF OUR SKIN.
-J. Lionel Tayler, The Stages of human Life,
