“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.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

“You business', sagte er dann. 'Kill why?'
Sie lächelte, um zu zeigen, dass sie nicht verstand.
'Everything', sagte der Mann. 'Foam. Lorry?'

Sie lächelte verkrampft.
'Why?' Der Mann klopfte an die Scheibe.
'Grease, the hobble why!”
― Daniel Kehlmann, Ruhm. Ein Roman in neun Geschichten
