quotations about kissing
Weddings are not over until they are sealed with a kiss.
SUSAN MARG
Las Vegas Weddings
Kisses most difficult to obtain are prized the most. Those which go, as it were, begging, are valued the least.
ERNEST HARVIER
Puck, Aug. 10, Puck, Aug. 10, 1881
Kissing is the beginning, middle, and end of incredible lovemaking. For that reason, its power should never be underestimated. If you and your lover are not connected to one another's kisses, there will always be limits to your passion.
LOU PAGET
How To Be a Great Lover
A kiss is the bringing into juxtaposition two contrarily charged poles by which it, like an electric spark, is elicited.
SAMUEL PUTNAM AVERY
Mrs. Partington's Carpet-Bag of Fun
A slice of pie without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze.
STEPHEN KING
Firestarter
When it's right you can't say
Who is kissing whom.
GREGORY ORR
Concerning the Book that is the Body of the Beloved
The kiss begins, not with the lips, but with the eyes. When the first faint murmurings of a passionate heart stir lovers to action, it is the invitation of an eye--if all is right with the world, a deep, soft, luminous pair of them--that brings the nascent kiss into being. Let the troubadours prattle of moist lips, the Tuscan poets of heaving bosoms, the Romantics of ivory complexions, and still I will insist on the preeminence of the eyes. Those burning orbs are more seductive than all the perfumes of Arabia.
JOHN BLOOM
Texas Monthly, Feb. 1980
A kiss is on the boundary line between eroticism and sexual enjoyment.
IWAN BLOCH
The Sexual Life of Our Time
Kisses are the language of love, so let's talk it over.
AMERICAN PROVERB
A kiss is like arousing a sleeping adder. It transforms the whole body into a nest of adders. It is the switch which completes the cirtuit of hell or heaven between two souls.
RUTH VAN SAUN
The Honey-Comb
There used to be two kinds of kisses. First when girls were kissed and deserted; second, when they were engaged. Now there's a third kind, where the man is kissed and deserted. If Mr. Jones of the nineties bragged he'd kissed a girl, everyone knew he was through with her. If Mr. Jones of 1919 brags the same everyone knows it's because he can't kiss her any more.
F. SCOTT FITZGERALD
This Side of Paradise
I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.
MACKEY MILLER

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.
HERMAN HUPFELD
"As Time Goes By"
Kissing is like drinking salted water, you drink and your thirst increases.
JAN HARPER

What is there in a Kiss? Millions upon millions of souls have been made happy, while more millions have been cursed and led into misery and ruin by kissing. It is the lure of old Satan, the shame of Judas--the perpetual "Flu." It is a confession of surrender--a sign of Satan's victory in woman's life, uncaging the brute in man.
RUTH VAN SAUN
The Honey-Comb
Lovers are made by a kiss.
éMILE ZOLA
The Fortune of the Rougons
Soul meets soul on lovers' lips.
PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY
Prometheus Unbound
It is with kisses as with confidences, the first leads to another. They are multiplied, they interrupt conversation, they take its place; they scarce leave time for a sigh to escape.
HONORÉ DE BALZAC
Physiology of Marriage
A kiss I begg'd, and thou didst join
Thy lips to mine,
Then, as afraid, snatched back their treasure,
And mock my pleasure;
Again, my dearest, for in this
Thou only gav'st desire, and not a kiss.
THOMAS STANLEY
Thomas Stanley: His Original Lyrics
Only he who loves and is loved for his own sake can be happy, and what produces that happiness is not so much the sense of sexual communion as of two people being together ... the sexual act viewed as a whole probably affords less happiness than a totally ordinary kiss or often indeed one simple word from the one you love.
