Weekly Photo Challenge: Kiss

The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions -
the little, soon forgotten charities of a kiss or a smile,
a kind look or heartfelt compliment.

~Samuel Taylor Coleridge~

Kisses kept are wasted:
Love is to be tasted.
There are some you love, I know;
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.

~Edmund Vance Cooke~

kisses are a better fate
than wisdom.

~e.e. cummings~

It is the passion in a kiss that gives it its sweetness;
it is the affection in a kiss that sanctifies it.

~Christian Nestell Borce~

A kiss is a rosy dot
over the “i” of loving.

~Cryano de Bergerac~

A compliment is something like
a kiss through a veil.

~Victor Hugo~

At the first kiss I felt
Something melt inside me
That hurt in an exquisite way.
All the longings, all my dreams and sweet anguish,
All the secrets that slept within me came awake,
Everything was transformed and enchanted
And made sense.

~Hemann Hesse~

Don’t waste your kisses – give them freely to those you love.  And, remember Victor Hugo’s words, A compliment is something like a kiss through a veil, so applaud others often!
