That human life is but a first installment of the serial soul and that one's individual secret is not lost in the process of earthly dissolution, becomes something more than an optimistic conjecture, and even more than a matter of religious faith, when we remember that only commonsense rules immortality out. Vladimir Nabokov
Vladimir Nabokov quote: "The lost glove is happy."
The lost glove is happy. Vladimir Nabokov

Vladimir Nabokov quote: "with somebody's lost pair of sun-glasses for only witness."
with somebody's lost pair of sun-glasses for only witness. Vladimir Nabokov
