“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. Did she have a precursor? She did, indeed she did. In point of fact, there might have been no Lolita at all had I not loved, one summer, an initial girl-child. In a princedom by the sea. Oh when? About as many years before Lolita was born as my age was that summer. You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, exhibit number one is what the seraphs, the misinformed, simple, noble-winged seraphs, envied. Look at this tangle of thorns.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

“La discriminación en México goza de aceptación social, convertida en un silencio mutuo entre todos los sectores de la sociedad. Se le considera parte de nuestros "usos y costumbres".”

“En muchas de tus lecturas se aseguraba que en Estados Unidos recibían cordialmente a os inmigrantes que perseguían el "sueño americano". Era algo que pregonaban con la Estatua de la Libertad de fondo. No decían que eso era cierto sólo si los inmigrantes eran caucásicos y provenían de Europa occidental o del norte. De preferencia con dinero.”
