“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.”

“Give me a thousand kisses, then a hundred, then another thousand, then a second hundred, then yet another thousand, then a hundred.”
Da mi basia mille, deinde centum, dein mille altera, dein secunda centum, deinde usque altera mille, deinde centum.

Gaio Valerio Catullo list of poems by Catullus

“And sometimes when the night is slow
The wretched and the meek
We gather up our hearts and go
A Thousand Kisses Deep.”

Leonard Cohen (1934–2016) Canadian poet and singer-songwriter

“And kissed her for a hundred and sixty-nine years.”

Connie Willis book To Say Nothing of the Dog

“They were both more than twenty-seven in those enthusiastic years of nineteen hundred and thirty-five, yet neither had as much as ever kissed a girl. Not that kissing was much in favour in that district. Reading about lovers kissing, Tarry often reflected on the fact that he had never seen anyone kissing anyone, except poor old Peter Toole whom he once saw kissing a corpse in a wakehouse in the hope of getting a couple of glasses of whiskey.”

Patrick Kavanagh (1904–1967) poet

“Kiss me, so long but as a kiss may last!”

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822) English Romantic poet

“Was this the face that launch'd a thousand ships,
And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?
Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss!”

Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593) English dramatist, poet and translator

“You live your life as if it's real……. a thousand kisses deep”

Leonard Cohen (1934–2016) Canadian poet and singer-songwriter

“Give my ass a little kiss, kiss it!”

Chuck Berry (1926–2017) American rock-and-roll musician

“A first kiss after five months means more than a first kiss after five minutes.”

Steve Kluger (1952) American writer
