The kiss. There are all sorts of kisses, lad, from the sticky confection to the kiss of death. Of them all, the kiss of an actress is the most unnerving. How can we tell if she means it or if she's just practicing?
(Ruth Gordon (1896-1985), U.S. playwright, actor. Benjy, in The Leading Lady, act 2 (1948).)
Once before a man's kiss tasted like that. He was put away in a psycho ward. I got the same taste the first time Grant kissed me. It was a ... what we call a ... naked kiss. It's the sign of a pervert.
(Samuel Fuller (b. 1911), U.S. screenwriter. Kelly (Constance Towers), The Naked Kiss, about her former fiancé, a pedophile (1964).)
Would not love see returning penitence afar off, and fall on its neck and kiss it?
