Vladimir Nabokov
“It is certainly not then—not in dreams—but when one is wide awake, in moments of robust joy and achievement, on the highest terrace of consciousness, that mortality has a chance to peer beyond its own limits, from the mast, from the past and its castle tower. And although nothing much can be seen through the mist, there is somehow the blissful feeling that one is looking in the right direction.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Speak, Memory

Vladimir Nabokov
“Mnemosyne, one must admit, has shown herself to be a very careless girl.”
Vladimir Nabokov , Speak, Memory

Vladimir Nabokov
“Whenever I start thinking of my love for a person, I am in the habit of immediately drawing radii from my love - from my heart, from the tender nucleus of a personal matter- to monstrously remote points of the universe. Something impels me to measure the consciousness of my love against such unimaginable and incalculable things as the behaviour of nebulae (whose very remoteness seems a form of insanity), the dreadful pitfalls of eternity, the unknowledgeable beyond the unknown, the helplessness, the cold, the sickening involutions and interpenetrations of space and time.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Speak, Memory

Vladimir Nabokov
“I see again my schoolroom in Vyra, the blue roses of the wallpaper, the open window.… Everything is as it should be, nothing will ever change, nobody will ever die.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Speak, Memory

Vladimir Nabokov
“a person hoping to become a poet must have the capacity of thinking of several things at a time.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Speak, Memory
