A Kiss Before Dying Quotes

“A false-hearted lover is worse than a thief.

For a thief will just rob you and take what you have,
But a false-hearted lover will lead you to the grave.

And the grave will decay you and turn you to dust;
Not one boy in a hundred a poor girl can trust.”
― Ira Levin, A Kiss Before Dying

“Bread now, or cake later”
― Ira Levin, A Kiss Before Dying

“Better to live in doubt than to die in certainty.”

And through that understanding he would divine all the capacities and longings she had found in herself and was unable to communicate.”
