Additional quotes by Vladimir Nabokov

There is only one real number: one. And love, apparently, is the best exponent of this singularity.

Solitude was corrupting me.

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.
