Vladimir Nabokov Quotes

Suddenly, As Avis Clung To Her Father's Neck And Ear While, With A Casual Arm, The Man Enveloped His Lumpy And Large Offspring, I Saw Lolita's Smile Lose All Its Light And Become A Frozen Little Shadow Of Itself, And The Fruit Knife Slipped Off The Table And Struck Her With Its Silver Handle A Freak Blow On The Ankle Which Made Her Gasp, And Crouch Head Forward, And Then, Jumping On One Leg, Her Face Awful With The Preparatory Grimace Which Children Hold Till The Tears Gush, She Was Gone - To Be Followed At Once And Consoled In The Kitchen By Avis Who Had Such A Wonderful Fat Pink Dad And A Small Chubby Brother, And A Brand-new Baby Sister, And A Home, And Two Grinning Dogs, And Lolita Had Nothing.
