And the rest is rust and stardust. - Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

"Human life is but a series of footnotes to a vast obscure unfinished masterpiece"

"Don't cry, I'm sorry to have deceived you so much, but that's how life is."

"It was love at first sight, at last sight, at ever and ever sight."

"We all have such fateful objects -- it may be a recurrent landscape in one case, a number in another -- carefully chosen by the gods to attract events of specific significance for us: here shall John always stumble; there shall Jane's heart always break."
