Kiss

Quotes



Beneath the kiss itself, it is its meaning that interests us�which is why the desire to kiss someone can be decisively reduced (as it may need be, for instance, when two lovers are already married to other people) by a declaration of that desire � a confession which may in itself be so erotic as to render the actual kiss superfluous.

How to Think More About Sex

Letters to Milena
Kiss me, and you will see how important I am.

The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
All the breath and the bloom of the year in the bag of one bee;
All the wonder and wealth of the mine in the heart of one gem;
In the core of one pearl all the shade and the shine of the sea;
Breath and bloom, shade and shine, 'wonder, wealth, and 'how far above them'
Truth, that's brighter than gem,
Truth, that's purer than pearl,'
Brightest truth, purest trust in the universe all were for me
In the kiss of one girl.

Summum Bonum
And our spirits rush'd together at the touching of the lips.
