“One of the most vivid images I have of my father are his fingertips. I can see him sitting, with his eyes closed, searching deeply into his mind/experience, with his fingertips barely tapping together, or his hands reaching out in one of those broad and animated gestures so common in later years when he lectured. His fingertips were exploring the universe around him. His fingertips were his antennas to experience. No idea that he processed in his mind was ever processed without that link to experience, was ever abstracted. The largest concepts, his generalized principals, were a summarization and culmination of what he called ’special case’ experience. Many times his fingertips seemed to suggest that he was tuning in to, was in touch with, that special case experience.”

-Allegra  Fuller Snyder on Bucky, her father
