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. Did she have a precursor? She did, indeed she did. In point of fact, there might have been no Lolita at all had I not loved, one summer, an initial girl-child. In a princedom by the sea. Oh when? About as many years before Lolita was born as my age was that summer. You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, exhibit number one is what the seraphs, the misinformed, simple, noble-winged seraphs, envied. Look at this tangle of thorns.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

Maria Gabriela Llansol
“a escuridão de escrever permite apanhar, no auge, os frutos da claridade.”
Maria Gabriela Llanson, O Raio Sobre o Lápis

Patricia Highsmith
“My imagination functions much better when I don't have to speak to people.”
Patricia Highsmith

Marguerite Duras
“Our mothers always remain the strangest, craziest people we've ever met.”
Marguerite Duras

Luis Sepúlveda
“Nunca confies na memória porque está sempre do nosso lado: suaviza a atrocidade, dulcifica a amargura, põe luz onde só houve sombras. A memória tende sempre à ficção.”
Luis Sepúlveda, A sombra do que fomos
