Kiss Alive

Famous quotes containing the words kiss and/or alive:

    or the warm soft side
    Of the resigning yet resisting bride.
    The kiss of virgins first-fruits of the bed;
    Soft speech, smooth touch, the lips, the maidenhead;
    These and a thousand sweets could never be
    So near or dear as thou wast once to me.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    But psychoanalysis has taught that the dead—a dead parent, for example—can be more alive for us, more powerful, more scary, than the living. It is the question of ghosts.
    Jacques Derrida (20th century)
