About This Quote
The classic line from the blockbuster film The Notebook. When Rachel sees Noah for the first time after he has been away, he reaches for her hand. He doesn't reach for it in the way most people would reach for another person's hand, however. Instead, he reaches for it tucked against her chest.
This is because he believes that it would be rude to reach for her hand against her chest. He believes that it is more polite to ask permission first before reaching out to touch someone else.
