| V. Sums It Up, Once Again |
[22 Jan 2003|01:14pm] |
"...my political creed has remained as bleak and changeless as an old gray rock. It is classical to the point of triteness. Freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of art. The social or economic structure of the ideal state is of little concern to me. My desires are modest. Portraits of the head of the government should not exceed a postage stamp in size. No torture or executions."
- V. Nabokov

"I often think there should exist a special typographical sign for a smile -- some sort of concave mark, a supine round bracket, which I would now like to trace in reply to your question."
-- V. Nabokov in "Strong Opinions" 1973
