girl, always give her the benefit of the doubt.

Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score;

The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.

Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
The Weavers
From their song Kisses Sweeter Than Wine
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm,
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy, golden storm,
Yes many loved before us, I know we are not new,
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you,
But now it's come to distances and both of us must try,
Your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.
Leonard Cohen
That's No Way to Say Goodbye

professional job. I needed to be kissed, and I was kissed.

Will you love me in the good old fashioned way?
When my hair has all turned gray,
Will you kiss me then and say,
That you love me in December as you do in May?
James Walker
Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word.
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!

girl's clothes off.

Housewives]. She was so angry because I was on television
kissing a boy naked; she's very traditional. She said: "If
I ever see you kissing that boy again
".
Eva Longoria
Quoted in British Daily Mail You magazine,

and when I walked away I had to spit it all out.
Leonardo DiCaprio
How far away the stars seem, and how far is our first kiss,
and ah, how old my heart.

The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial
in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people
much more strongly than even the final surrender; because
this kiss already has within it that surrender.
Emil Ludwig
I kissed my first girl and smoked my first cigarette on the
same day. I haven't had time for tobacco since.
Arturo Toscanini
The angel of the Family is Woman. Mother, wife, or sister,
Woman is the caress of life, the soothing sweetness of affection
shed over its toils, a reflection for the individual of the
loving providence which watches over Humanity. In her there
is treasure enough of consoling tenderness to allay every
pain. Moreover for every one of us she is the initiator of
the future. The mother's first kiss teaches the child love;
the first holy kiss of the woman he loves teaches man hope
and faith in life; and love and faith create a desire for
perfection and the power of reaching towards it step by step;
create the future, in short, of which the living symbol is
the child, link between us and the generations to come. Through
her the Family, with its divine mystery of reproduction, points
to Eternity.
Giuseppe Mazzini
The worst thing a man can ever do is kiss me on the first
date.
Halle Berry
First time he kissed me, he but only kissed
The fingers of this hand wherewith I write;
And, ever since, it grew more clean and white.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
She has a very big mouth. When I was kissing her, I was aware
of a faint echo.
Hugh Grant
On Julia Roberts, his co-star in Notting
Hill.
If you kiss on the first date and it's not right, then there
will be no second date. Sometimes it's better to hold out
and not kiss for a long time. I am a strong believer in kissing
being very intimate, and the minute you kiss, the floodgates
open for everything else.
Jennifer Lopez
The first time I kissed Brad [Pitt] my knees went weak - I
literally lost my breath!
Jennifer Aniston
Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is
simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.
Albert Einstein
Is not a kiss the very autograph of love?
Henry Finck
A kiss, when all is said, what is it?
A rosy dot placed on the "i" in loving;
'Tis a secret told to the mouth instead of to the ear.
Edmond Rostand
Kissing is a means of getting two people so close together
that they can't see anything wrong with each other.
Rene Yasenek
How did it happen that their lips came together? How does
it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose
unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of
trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all
was said.
Victor Hugo
Soul meets soul on lovers' lips.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
From Prometheus Unbound
A kiss that speaks volumes is seldom a first edition.
Clare Whiting
I am in favor of preserving the French habit of kissing ladies'
hands - after all, one must start somewhere.

Give me a kisse, and to that kisse a score;
Then to that twenty, adde a hundred more;
A thousand to that hundred; so kisse on,
To make that thousand up a million;
Treble that million, and when that is done,
Let's kisse afresh, as when we first begun.

And the waves clasp one another;

And the moonbeams kiss the sea: -
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?

Kisses kept are wasted;

Be not loathe to tell them so.
Lips go dry and eyes grow wet
Waiting to be warmly met.
Keep them not in waiting yet;
Kisses kept are wasted.

Jumping from the chair she sat in;

Sweets into your list, put that in.

Say that health and wealth have missed me;
Say I'm growing old, but add Jenny kissed me.
Leigh Hunt

A man's kiss is his signature.

For kissing, lady, not for such contempt.

And all his worldly worth for this,
To waste his whole heart in one kiss
Upon her perfect lips.

breath.
