Famous quotes containing the word lips:
“Child, the current of your breath is six days long.
You lie, a small knuckle on my white bed;
lie, fisted like a snail, so small and strong
at my breast. Your lips are animals; you are fed
with love.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Those who guard their mouths preserve their lives; those who open wide their lips come to ruin.”

“The secret ones around a stone
Their lips withdrawn in meet surprise
Lie still, being naught but bone
With naught but space within their eyes....”
