Let all of life be an unfettered howl. - Vladimir Nabokov

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

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

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

"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."
