Additional quotes by Vladimir Nabokov

I need you, the reader, to imagine us, for we don't really exist if you don't.

Ada girl, adored girl, [...] I'm a radiant void. I'm convalescing after a long and dreadful illness. You cried over my unseemly scar, but now life is going to be nothing but love and laughter, and corn in cans. I cannot brood over broken hearts, mine is too recently mended.

O my Carmen, my Carmen!
Something, something those something nights
And the stars, and the cars, and the bars and the barmen ~
