More From Vladimir Nabokov
- "Poetry involves the mysteries of the irrational perceived through rational words."
- "To play safe, I prefer to accept only one type of power: the power of art over trash, the triumph of magic over the brute."
- "A novelist is, like all mortals, more fully at home on the surface of the present than in the ooze of the past."
More In Dreams
- "I know it sounds corny, but when you follow your dreams, it happens. And if it’s music, take it seriously."― Enrique Iglesias
- "It’s not only imagination, it’s the distortion of the vision. You suddenly think, This person is idealistic, this person is strong, this person has dreams, when you know better most of the time. You put what you want to see on people."― Olivier Martinez
- "The permanent temptation of life is to confuse dreams with reality. The permanent defeat of life comes when dreams are surrendered to reality."― James A. Michener
