Kisses

Famous quotes containing the word kisses:

    “Grovelling,
    intimate words,
    heart-stealing flattery,
    a tight embrace
    of my thinner-than-thin body,
    violent kisses all over—
    obviously,
    getting angry is worth the risk,
    but even still,
    I’m not interested.
    My lover
    is dear to my heart,
    so how could I be like that
    on purpose?”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    “Take, O take, those lips away,
    That so sweetly were forsworn;
    And those eyes, the break of day,
    Lights that do mislead the morn:
    But my kisses bring again
    Bring again:
    Seals of love but sealed in vain,”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Who fed me from her gentle breast,
    And hushed me in her arms to rest,
    And on my cheek sweet kisses prest?
    My Mother.”
    —Ann Taylor (1783–1824)
