Bare Hands Quotes

“If you have the soul of a gardener, not for anything would you work with gloves on.”
― Ruth Stout

“This called for bare hands, stilettos, booted feet, flesh-on-flesh, bone-on-bone, hearing the cracks, causing the cracks, venting all that pent-up anger.”
― Anna Burns, Milkman

“One day he decided he was more dependent on the kindness of women than he liked so he went off to hunt wild beasts with his bare hands. But all he found was a stray dog & a couple of old pigeons & it was cold & he missed the sound of soft voices, so finally he came back & never worried about it again.
—Iron John”
― Brian Andreas, Still Mostly True: Collected Stories & Drawings
