savium (eager mouth kisses), and basium (lip kisses). The French kiss, known for its passionate nature, gained popularity during World War I.

Kissing serves as a means of conveying emotions and feelings through various expressions.  "A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous." - Ingrid Bergman "Kiss me and you will see how important I am." - Sylvia Plath "A kiss is a secret told to the mouth instead of the ear; kisses are the messengers of love and tenderness." - Ingrid Bergman "A kiss is a rosy dot over the 'i' of loving." - Cyrano de Bergerac "A kiss is a memory that lives forever in the heart." - Unknown "Kissing is like drinking salted water. You drink, and your thirst increases." - Chinese Proverb "Kissing is a means of getting two people so close together that they can't see anything wrong with each other." - René Yasenek "Kisses are a better fate than wisdom." - E.E.

Cummings "A kiss can be a comma, a question mark, or an exclamation point. That's the basic spelling that every woman ought to know." - Mistinguett "Kissing someone is pretty intimate, actually very intimate, and your heart always kind of skips a beat before you do that." - Keanu Reeves   What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why, I have forgotten, and what arms have lain Under my head till morning; but the rain Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh Upon the glass and listen for reply,   Kiss me with rain on your eyelashes, come on, let us sway together, under the trees, and to hell with thunder.

  What is the dawn to an unhallowed night, And what the kiss when it is wrong or due? The kiss that has not been, and comes not through, Seems as the shadow of a lost delight.
