Deanna Raybourn Quotes

He Had Strong, Steady Hands, And I Could Tell From Looking At Them There Was Little He Couldn't Do. Mossy Always Said You Could Tell Everything You Needed To Know About A Man From His Hands. Some Hands, She Told Me, Were Leaving Hands. They Were The Wandering Sort That Slipped Into Places They Shouldn't, And They Would Wander Right Off Again Because Those Hands Just Couldn't Stay Still. Some Hands Were Worthless Hands, Fit Only To Hold A Drink Or Flick Ash From A Cigar, And Some Were Punishing Hands That Hit Hard And Didn't Leave A Mark And Those Were The Ones You Never Stayed To See Twice.
But The Best Hands Were Knowing Hands, Mossy Told Me With A Slow Smile. Knowing Hands Were Capable; They Could Soothe A Horse Or Woman. They Could Take Things Apart
Including Your Heart
And Put Them Back Together Better Than Before. Knowing Hands Were Rare, But If You Found Them, They Were Worth Holding, At Least For A Little While.
