"All at once we were madly, clumsily, shamelessly, agonizingly in love with each other; hopelessly, I should add, because that frenzy of mutual possession might have been assuaged only by our actually imbibing and assimilating every particle of each other's soul and flesh; but there we were, unable even to mate as slum children would have so easily found an opportunity to do."
"A change of environment is the traditional fallacy upon which doomed loves, and lungs, rely."

-Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita
i decided to start reading lolita because everyone seems to love it (you creeps). i'll admit i went into it thinking it was just some love story but it's... definitely different than what i expected. since i love quality insanity, it's definitely a good choice. he's a creep but also a beautiful writer.
