Vladimir Nabokov
“Human life is but a series of footnotes to a vast obscure unfinished masterpiece”
Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

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

Lewis Carroll
“It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards,' says the White Queen to Alice.”
Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking-Glass

T.S. Eliot
“Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.”
T.S. Eliot

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