“There are two ways to reach me: by way of kisses or by way of the imagination. But there is a hierarchy: the kisses alone don't work.”

“A kiss isn't terminal."
"It is the way you do it.”

Nora Roberts (1950) American romance writer

“I kissed thee ere I killed thee. No way but this,
Killing myself, to die upon a kiss.”

William Shakespeare Othello

“His mouth was hot and hungry, and he kissed the way no man should kiss and still be allowed to run free.”

Linda Howard (1950) American writer

“He smiled in a way that made me want to kiss him right on the spot. Or the lips. Whichever was closer.”

Shannon Hale (1974) American fantasy novelist

“Okay, this was kissing. Serious kissing. Not just a kiss before moving out, not a good-bye, this was Hello, sexy, and wow, she’d never even suspected that it could feel this way.”

Rachel Caine book Glass Houses

“In its own way the kiss had been an act of murder.”

Jeff Lindsay book Darkly Dreaming Dexter

“It's the way that you kiss, the way that you give back,
The way you love me like this -- look at the beauty of that.
These are the tangled words of our love, that we both do untie --
Same old ways, same old spice, same old paradise.”

Amber (1970) Dutch born German singer, songwriter, label owner and executive producer

“You don't believe me?" Jace asked. "Fine. Go ahead. Kiss me right now."
Alec stared at him in horror.
"Exactly. Despite my staggering good lucks, you actually don't like me that way.”

Cassandra Clare book City of Glass

“There are a million ways to reach recovery. Don't let anyone tell you you can't find a way that works for you.”

Jonathan Van Ness (1987) American hairstylist and television personality
