| Vintage Kiss - Leonid Afremov |
Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score;
Then to that twenty, add a hundred more:
A thousand to that hundred: so kiss on,
To make that thousand up a million.
Treble that million, and when that is done,
Let's kiss afresh, as when we first begun.
Robert Herrick, To Anthea (III)

| A Kiss |
Sooner or later a kiss probably caught you.
Were you coy and standoffish as it eagerly sought you?
How fast were you running when it finally got you?
Were you moving along at a leisurely pace
Or giving the smoocher a heck of a race
When you finally decided to call off the chase?
Did the smoocher depart with the silliest grin
Feeling euphoric and head in a spin
Thinking he'd taken what you allowed him to win?

| Francesca da Rimini and Paolo Malatesta - Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres |
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

Any man who can drive safely

is simply not giving the kiss

Bella Notte
Oh this is the night, it's a beautiful night
And we call it bella notte
Look at the skies, they have stars in their eyes
On this lovely bella notte.
Side by side with your loved one,
You'll find enchantment here.
The night will weave its magic spell,
When the one you love is near!
Oh this is the night, and the heavens are right!
On this lovely bella note!
And we call it bella notte
Look at the skies, they have stars in their eyes
On this lovely bella notte.
Side by side with your loved one,
You'll find enchantment here.
The night will weave its magic spell,
When the one you love is near!
Oh this is the night, and the heavens are right!
On this lovely bella note!

| The Kiss - Elvis and a Fan in Richmond, Virginia - Albert Wertheimer Photographer |
The fan said to Elvis, “I’ll bet you can’t kiss me."
Elvis replied, “I betcha I can.”
Elvis was right.
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.

Kissing Game
SPIN THE BOTTLE
A bottle is placed on the floor in the middle of a circle of people. One person spins the bottle (or flashlight in the dark), and they must kiss the person to whom the bottle is pointing when it stops spinning.
Then I did the simplest thing in the world.
I leaned down... and kissed him.
And the world cracked open.
Agnes de Mille
You may conquer with the sword,
but you are conquered by a kiss.
Daniel Heinsius
You may conquer with the sword,
but you are conquered by a kiss.
Daniel Heinsius
The moment eternal - just that and no more -
When ecstasy's utmost we clutch at the core
While cheeks burn, arms open, eyes shut, and lips meet!
Robert Browning
When ecstasy's utmost we clutch at the core
While cheeks burn, arms open, eyes shut, and lips meet!
