Vladimir Nabokov Quotes: I hope you will love your baby. I…

I hope you will love your baby. I hope it will be a boy. That husband of yours, I hope, will always treat you well, because otherwise my specter shall come out of him, like black smoke, like a demented giant, and pull him apart nerve by nerve. ...I am thinking of aurochs and angels, the secret of durable pigments, prophetic sonnets, the refuge of art. And this is the only immortality you and I may share, my Lolita.

("Lolita")

Vladimir Nabokov

It is a short walk from the hallelujah to the hoot.

Humbert was perfectly capable of intercourse with Eve, but it was Lilith he longed for.
Vladimir Nabokov

We would prefer not to have known our neighbor, the retired hot-dog stand operator, if it turns out he has just produced the greatest book of poetry his age has seen.
Vladimir Nabokov

Life is a great sunrise. I do not see why death should not be an even greater one.
Vladimir Nabokov
