Some Thoughts on Kissing

"A Kiss is that you cannot give without taking, and cannot take without giving. It is a course of procedure cunningly devised for the mutual stoppage of speech for a moment when words are superfluous. [ . . . ] The small boy gets it for nothing, the young man has to steal it, and the old man has to buy it. It is the baby's right, the lover's privilege, and the hypocrite's mask. To young girl, faith; married woman, hope; old maid, charity. A Kiss can be a comma, quotation mark or an exclamation point. It is also a pleasant reminder that two heads are better than one."
