To begin with, let us take the following motto...Literature is Love. Now we can continue.
Vladimir NabokovSome people, and I am one of them, hate happy ends. We feel cheated. Harm is the norm.
Vladimir NabokovFor I do not exist: there exist but the thousands of mirrors that reflect me. With every acquaintance I make, the population of phantoms resembling me increases. Somewhere they live, somewhere they multiply. I alone do not exist.
Vladimir Nabokov
