quotations about kissing
Oh! but your lips were thrilling, much too thrilling,
Never before were mine so strangely willing.
FRANK LOESSER
"Heart and Soul"
A kiss is like a window into someone's inner thoughts. You can sense the mood of the person you're kissing. You can often tell how they really feel about you from a kiss. Someone who really cares for you will not kiss you the same way as someone who is just there for sex.
WILLIAM CANE
The Art of Kissing
The lips that are red
Give kisses that ravage
The soul, and though savage,
They soothe.
AARESTRUP
attributed, The Kiss and Its History
Kissing don't last: cooking do!
GEORGE MEREDITH
The Ordeal of Richard Feveral
A kiss in so much loneliness was like a hand pulling you up out of the water, scooping you up from a place of drowning and into the reckless abundance of air.
ANN PATCHETT
Bel Canto
As good as kissing feels, nothing feels as good as the anticipation of it.
JOHN GREEN
An Abundance of Katherines
One day you will kiss a man you can't breathe without, and find that breath is of little consequence.
KAREN MARIE MONING
Bloodfever
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you,
Tomorrow I'll miss you
PAUL MCCARTNEY
"All My Loving"
Oh, kill me with thy kisses! Drain me dry
Of pain and life, nor leave me breath to sigh;
Yea, feed my spirit, starving at thy lips,
Thy sweet perfidious poison ere I die!
ELSA BARKER
"The Garden of Rose and Rue", The Book of Love
Kissing is the handshake of show business.
E. L. KONIGSBURG
Up from Jericho Tel
It's the kind of kiss that inspires stars to climb into the sky and light up the world.
TAHEREH MAFI
Ignite Me
The one who grants a kiss grants something else, and any one who has free access to kisses has access to more.
PEDER SYV
attributed, The Kiss and Its History
Kissing is a way to begin to explore the merging of your sexual energies. It is how you can begin to listen to each other energetically and create a dance that is all your own.
AMY COOPER
The Everything Orgasm Book
Simmer down and pucker up.

Love, love, love -- all the wretched cant of it, masking egotism, lust, masochism, fantasy under a mythology of sentimental postures, a welter of self-induced miseries and joys, blinding and masking the essential personalities in the frozen gestures of courtship, in the kissing and the dating and the desire, the compliments and the quarrels which vivify its barrenness.
GERMAINE GREER
The Female Eunuch
A kiss is but a little sweetness,
Leaping the road to rapture.
PHILIP MOELLER
The Roadhouse in Arden
To a woman, a kiss is more than just a kiss. A kiss is how you first decide whether you have chemistry with a guy or not. A kiss is how you say, "I'm attracted to you," "I'd like to know you better," and "I love you" and "Let's keep going after this passionate kiss!" A kiss is a form of affection, of remembering, of communication. Set a timer for ten minutes and insist on a bit of a kissing marathon. Hearken back to the days when kissing was all you got, it was the main course. Now it's often just a quick appetizer before the intercourse entrée, but just pretend and reap the rewards of more passionate sex.
SUNNY HERSH
Is It Hot in Here
Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.
Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purg'd.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Romeo and Juliet
I have often wondered why the mouth has been selected as the medium for imparting and receiving kisses, and an idea has occurred to me which those interested in the philosophy of the thing may have the benefit of, viz., that the custom must have been introduced by a flat-nosed race. Otherwise, I should think that the honour would have been conferred on the most prominent facial organ, and that instead of pressing mouth to mouth, the operation would more naturally be performed by a rubbing together of noses. The very fact that a large development of the nasal organ in many individuals renders kissing exceedingly inconvenient, goes a long way to attest that the inventor of the custom did not anticipate its being handed down to, and practiced by, a Roman-nosed race. If he did he was a cynic, and doubtless enjoyed a grim satisfaction in contemplating the nasal collisions which often occur before the operation can be satisfactorily performed.
