A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous."
-Ingrid Bergman
A kiss makes the heart young again and wipes out the years."
-Rupert Brooke
The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender.
-Emil Ludwig
"A lawful kiss is never worth a stolen one."
-Maupassant
A kiss can be a comma, a question mark or an exclamation point. That's basic spelling that every woman ought to know."
-Mistinguett
And if my heart be scarred and burned, The safer, I, for all I learned; The calmer, I, to see it true That ways of love are never new- The love that sets you daft and dazed Is every love that ever blazed; The happier, I, to fathom this: A kiss is every other kiss.
-Dorothy Parker, from "Incurable"
