Existence is a series of footnotes to a vast, obscure, unfin... - Vladimir Nabokov

"Lolita is famous, not I. I am an obscure, doubly obscure, novelist with an unpronounceable name."

"To play safe, I prefer to accept only one type of power: the power of art over trash, the triumph of magic over the brute."

"I think it is all a matter of love; the more you love a memory the stronger and stranger it becomes"

"Life is a great sunrise. I do not see why death should not be an even greater one."

"A work of art has no importance whatever to society. It is only important to the individual."
