    William Shakespeare
    “These violent delights have violent ends
    And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
    Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey
    Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
    And in the taste confounds the appetite.
    Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
    Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.”
    ― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

    Vladimir Nabokov
    “Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins.
    My sin, my soul.
    Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth.
    Lo. Lee. Ta.
    She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock.
    She was Lola in slacks.
    She was Dolly at school.
    She was Dolores on the dotted line.
    But in my arms she was always Lolita.”
    ― Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita
