Quote by Vladimir Nabokov

"Life is a great surprise. I do not see why death should not be an even greater one."

"The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness."

"I think like a genius, I write like a distinguished author, and I speak like a child."

"Loneliness is the cantor's voice of the soul."

"The best part of living is knowing you survived."

"The world needs heroes."

"Life is too short to live poorly."

"I'd rather be an optimist and be wrong than a pessimist and be right"
