Vladimir Nabokov
“I confess I do not believe in time. I like to fold my magic carpet, after use, in such a way as to superimpose one part of the pattern upon another. Let visitors trip. And the highest enjoyment of timelessness―in a landscape selected at random―is when I stand among rare butterflies and their food plants. This is ecstasy, and behind the ecstasy is something else, which is hard to explain. It is like a momentary vacuum into which rushes all that I love. A sense of oneness with sun and stone. A thrill of gratitude to whom it may concern―to the contrapuntal genius of human fate or to tender ghosts humoring a lucky mortal.”
Vladimir Nabokov

Nathanael West
“But whether he was happy or not was hard to say. Probably he was neither, just as a plant is neither.”
Nathaniel West, Miss Lonelyhearts & The Day of the Locust

Vladimir Nabokov
“Do not be angry with the rain; it simply does not know how to fall upwards.”
Vladimir Nabokov

Virginia Woolf
“the liftman in the tube is an eternal necessity...”
Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

Flann O'Brien
“Is it life?" he answered, "I would rather be without it," he said, "for there is queer small utility in it. You cannot eat it or drink it or smoke it in your pipe, it does not keep the rain out and it is a poor armful in the dark if you strip it and take it to bed with you after a night of porter when you are shivering with the red passion. It is a great mistake and a thing better done without, like bed-jars and foreign bacon.”
Flann O'Brien, The Third Policeman
