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.)

“She kisses her killed boy.
And she is sorry.
Chaos in windy grays
through a red prairie.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“Augusta: You have an ant strolling up your cheek.
Tom: I wish it were your lips. [She kisses him] Such a little kiss.
Augusta: Such a little ant.
Tom: Wish it had been an elephant.”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
