Vladimir Nabokov Quotes

Alas, I Was Unable To Transcend The Simple Human Fact That Whatever Spiritual Solace I Might Find, Whatever Lithophanic Eternities Might Be Provided For Me, Nothing Could Make My Lolita Forget The Foul Lust I Had Inflicted Upon Her. Unless It Can Be Proven To Me -to Me As I Am Now, Today, With My Heart And My Beard, And My Putrefaction- That In The Infinitue Run It Does Not Matter A Jot That A North American Girl-child Names Dolores Haze Had Been Deprived Of Her Childhood By A Maniac, Unless This Can Be Proven (and If It Can, Then Life Is A Joke), I See Nothing For The Treatment Of My Misery But The Melancholy And Very Local Palliative Of Articulate Art. To Quote An Old Poet:
The Moral Sense In Mortals Is The Duty
We Have To Pay On Mortal Sense Of Beauty.
