On this date in 1899, the Russian writer Vladimir Nabokov was born. 10 quotes from him:
- The breaking of a wave cannot explain the whole sea.
- A writer should have the precision of a poet and the imagination of a scientist.
- I think it is all a matter of love; the more you love a memory the stronger and stranger it becomes.
- Do not be angry with the rain; it simply does not know how to fall upwards.
- Mind you, sometimes the angels smoke, hiding it with their sleeves, and when the archangel comes, they throw the cigarettes away: that’s when you get shooting stars.
- Loneliness as a situation can be corrected, but as a state of mind it is an incurable illness.
- Genius is finding the invisible link between things.
- Knowing you have something good to read before bed is among the most pleasurable of sensations.
- There is no science without fancy and no art without fact.
- Perhaps, somewhere, some day, at a less miserable time, we may see each other again.
