What you are doing when you are listening as a Christian is putting your hand quietly in the other man’s life and feeling gently along the rim of his soul until you come to a crack, some frustration, some problem or anguish you sense that he may or may not be totally conscious of.

—Keith Miller, The Taste of New Wine, 1970, p. 100

To be sure, this image has aged rather less well than wine.
