How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said. ~Victor Hugo
Soul meets soul on lovers' lips. ~Percy Bysshe Shelley, Prometheus Unbound
Kissing is like drinking salted water. You drink, and your thirst increases. ~Chinese Proverb
Kisses kept are wasted;
Love is to be tasted.
There are some you love, I know;
Be not loathe to tell them so.
Lips go dry and eyes grow wet
Waiting to be warmly met.
Keep them not in waiting yet;
Kisses kept are wasted.
~Edmund Vance Cooke
A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.
~Ingrid Bergman
A kiss is an act so simple and so intimate. The Light suction, the flick of the lip, the playful nibble, the deep advance and retreat of the tongue. A good kiss is like jazz, an improvisation of melodies! It is a conversation between the lips. A kiss can brighten your day, it can make all your worries disappear, it can take away all the tears. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, then how many words does that make a kiss worth? A kiss where you gaze into your lover's eyes and play with their hair, where you hold hands, the amount of affection is limitless. A kiss is the gateway to heaven and beyond.
