I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me.
Humphrey Bogart, in film "In a Lonely Place"
A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.
Ingrid Bergman
And the best and the worst of this is
That neither is most to blame
If you have forgotten my kisses
And I have forgotten your name.
Algernon Charles Swinburne
KISS, n. A word invented by the poets as a rhyme for "bliss." It is supposed to signify, in a general way, some kind of rite or ceremony appertaining to a good understanding; but the manner of its performance is unknown to this lexicographer.
Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary, 1911.
