Vladimir Nabokov, accounting for his notoriously poor verbal habits once said,

At parties, if I attempt to entertain people with a good story, I have to go back to every other sentence for oral erasures and inserts. Even the dream I describe to my wife across the breakfast table is only a first draft. I think like a genius, I write like a distinguished author, and I speak like a child.

And if I'm meant to be alone, please take away my desire to be loved.

Walt Whitman

Enquanto eu lia o livro

Enquanto eu lia o livro, a ilustre biografia, Então é isto (eu disse) que o autor considera ser a vida de um homem? E assim, alguém, quando eu estiver morto ou ausente, escreverá minha vida? (Como se qualquer homem soubesse realmente algo sobre a minha vida, Quando até eu mesmo sempre penso saber pouco ou nada sobre minha vida real, Apenas algumas dicas, umas poucas dicas pálidas difusas e despistes Que procuro para meu uso próprio na trilha aqui de fora.)

Folhas de Relva, Walt Whitman.

“The mind is beautiful because of the paradox. It uses itself to understand itself.”
