I think it is all a matter of love; the more you love a memo... - Vladimir Nabokov

"while the scientist sees everything that happens in one point of space, the poet feels everything that happens in one point of time."

"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."

"Why did I hope we would be happy abroad? A change of environment is that traditional fallacy upon which doomed loves, and lungs, rely."

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

"Let all of life be an unfettered howl."
