Additional quotes by Vladimir Nabokov

She was only the faint violet whiff and dead leaf echo of the nymphet I had rolled myself upon with such cries in the past; an echo on the brink of a russet ravine, with a far wood under a white sky, and brown leaves choking the brook, and one last cricket in the crisp weeds.

True art is above false honor.

And she was mine, she was mine, the key was in my fist, my fist was in my pocket, she was mine. - Vladimir Nabokov
