Quotes I Love: On Kissing

A couple’s first kiss is always a special moment in any romance. So far I have not tired of writing that scene, no matter the characters.

“I always say that there is no greater act of courage than to be the one who kisses first.”

-from Mad About You

.

“The most eloquent silence; that of two mouths meeting in a kiss.”

-Unknown

.

“Passion is to kiss or to hug and to prove that action speaks louder than words.”

-Unknown

.

“Kissing is like drinking salted water: you drink and your thirst increases.”

-Chinese Proverb

.

“There is the kiss of welcome and of parting, the long, lingering, loving, present one; the stolen, or the mutual one; the kiss of love, of joy, and of sorrow; the seal of promise and receipt of fulfillment.”

-Thomas C. Haliburton

Quote I Love: Because I changed the light bulbs?

Was watching an old episode of Brothers & Sisters the other day and thought I’d share one of my favorite quotes from the show. This one always makes me think of my honey. There’s nothing like knowing you can be exactly who you are and be loved for it.

Kevin: You know, it’s like all these crazy people in my family are in this insane freefall and completely incapable of being happy. And then I look at Saul, who… who’s missed his life entirely. And I realize how lucky I am because I get to come home to someone who is kind and caring, and who changes the lightbulbs… and… marry me.

Scotty: What?

Kevin: I mean it. I don’t want to wait. I want to make this official.

Scotty: Because I changed the lightbulbs?

Kevin: No, well, yeah, kind of. Because, Scotty, that’s who you are. I’m completely, completely in love with you. I even love the things about you that I hate. Because you make me feel like I don’t have to be anyone other than who I am. And to me, that feels like family, and that’s what I want us to be. I want us to be a family because that never ends. I’m doing this all wrong. [gets down on his knees] Scotty, I’m asking you. Will you please marry me?

Scotty: Yes. Yes, Kevin, I’ll marry you.

From Brothers & Sisters
