“It’s all life is. Just going ’round kissing people.”

“I hope I haven’t given you the impression that I consider kissing intrinsically irrational.”

“You’ve got an awfully kissable mouth.”

“You ever seen that painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome, where God’s reaching out and touching the finger of an angel? That was what it felt like at the moment my lips touched hers. It was more than just a kiss. It was something spiritual.”
