Mint Quote by Vladimir Nabokov
““Kilencvennégy évesen is szerette újra átélni azt az első szerelmes nyarat, s nem úgy, mint egy épp az imént látott álmot, hanem mint a múltbéli tudat felidézését, amelynek révén leküzdötte a szürke hajnali órákat a felületes alvás és az aznapi első tabletta között.””
