Quotes

I had always thought that wringing one’s hands was a fictional gesture — the obscure outcome, perhaps, of some medieval ritual; but as I took to the woods, for a spell of despair and desperate meditation, this was the gesture (“look, Lord, at these chains!”) that would have come nearest to the mute expression of my mood. Vladimir Nabokov
Vladimir Nabokov quote: "We live not only in a world of thoughts, but also in a world..."
We live not only in a world of thoughts, but also in a world of things. Words without experience are meaningless. Vladimir Nabokov
The thought, when written down, becomes less oppressive, but some thoughts are like a cancerous tumor: you express is, you excise it, and it grows back worse than before. Vladimir Nabokov
