What was that dim distant music, those vestiges of color in the air? Here and there I discovered in it and especially, especially in the invaluable variants, echoes and spangles of my mind, a long ripplewake of my glory.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

“The common faults of American language are an ambition of effect, a want of simplicity, and a turgid abuse of terms.”
