I mean, I have the feeling that something in my mind is pois... - Vladimir Nabokov

"The good, the admirable reader identifies himself not with the boy or the girl in the book, but with the mind that conceived and composed that book."

"I think like a genius, I write like a distinguished author, and I speak like a child."

"The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there, written in invisible ink and clamoring to become visible"

"Existence is a series of footnotes to a vast, obscure, unfinished masterpiece."

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