“I loved you. I was a pentapod monster, but I loved you. I was despicable and brutal, and turpid, and everything, mais je t’aimais, je t’aimais! And there were times when I knew how you felt, and it was hell to know it, my little one. Lolita girl, brave Dolly Schiller.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

“There is no heart the state can constrain; dreams eat into its reason like acid.”
― Joseph Andras, Tomorrow They Won't Dare to Murder Us: A Novel

“in the night, imagining some fear,
How easy is a bush supposed a bear!”
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream

“I knew I had fallen in love with Lolita forever; but I also knew she would not be forever Lolita.”
