Additional quotes by Vladimir Nabokov

Monstrously Remote: “Whenever I start thinking of my love for a person, I immediately draw radii from my love — from my heart, from the tender nucleus of a personal matter — to monstrously remote points of the universe… the dreadful pitfalls of eternity, the unknowledgeable beyond the unknown, the helplessness, the sickening involutions and interpenetrations of space and time.” – Speak Memory (1966)
