“Perhaps if the future existed, concretely and individually, as something that could be discerned by a better brain, the past would not be so seductive: its demands would be balanced by those of the future.

—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

“I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.”
