Quotes
[edit]- Do you know where the handshake comes from? In ancient times it was a way to prove to a stranger that you did not carry weapons. Yes, offer your open hand to show that you did not have bad intentions. I wonder if the viruses know it.
- Contagion, written by Scott Z. Burns (2011)
- A hand will stretch out towards an outstretched hand. A hand will open for an opened hand.
