Sara

“She would try to relieve the pain of love by first roughly rubbing her dry lips against mine; then my darling would draw away with a nervous toss of her hair, and then again come darkly near and let me feed on her open mouth, while with a generosity that was ready to offer her everything, my heart, my throat, my entrails, I gave her to hold in her awkward first the scepter of my passion.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

“The people in flight from the terror behind-strange things happen to them, some bitterly cruel and some so beautiful that the faith is refired forever.”
― John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

“Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

“I grew, a happy, healthy child in a bright world of illustrated books, clean sand, orange trees, friendly dogs, sea vistas and smiling faces.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita
