Kissing quote

A kiss is ... a draft on the affections.

ERNEST HARVIER

Puck, Aug. 10, 1881


A maiden's first kiss cometh hard, yea, it is as the first olive out of a bottle, requiring much skill; but the rest are easy.

GELETT BURGESS

The Maxims of Methuselah


Kissing is the first and last way a couple connects. If you stop kissing, you stop connecting.

LOU PAGET

The kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.

INGRID BERGMAN

attributed, Love Scents


First kiss does the trick. The propitious moment. Something inside them goes pop.

JAMES JOYCE

Ulysses


Do not fall in love with people like me. I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth. I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people.

CAITLYN SIEHL

Literary Sexts


Stephen kissed me in the spring,
Robin in the fall,
But Colin only looked at me
And never kissed at all.

Stephen's kiss was lost in jest,
Robin's lost in play,
But the kiss in Colin's eyes
Haunts me night and day.

SARA TEASDALE

I pull you close but when we kiss I can feel a doubt.
I remember back when we started,
My kisses used to turn you inside out.
