“[T]ouching, in any case, touches the heart and on the heart, but inasmuch as it is always the heart of the other.” [For that reason], “no one should ever be able to say ‘my heart,’ my own heart.… There would be nothing and there would no longer be any question without this originary exappropriation and without a certain ‘stolen heart.’”
Jacques Derrida, On Touching, (2000)
