Kisses

Famous quotes containing the word kisses:

“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)

“In love, there is always one who kisses and one who offers the cheek.”
—French proverb.

George Bernard Shaw adapted this proverb in Heartbreak House, act 2: “One turns the cheek: the other kisses it. One provides the cash: the other spends it.”

“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)
