“1946: I go to graduate school at Tulane in order to get distance from a “possessive” mother. I see a lot of a red-haired girl named Maude-Ellen. My mother asks one day: “Does Maude-Ellen have warts? Every girl I’ve known named Maude-Ellen has had warts.” Right: Maude-Ellen had warts.”

—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“A complacent old Don of Divinity
Used to boast of his daughter’s virginity:
“They must have been dawdlin’,
The students of Magdalen—
It couldn’t have happened at Trinity.””
