i have to be weird. even when i'm being a bright hole of a girl to fuck men who've never had to hurt themselves. i need to be weird and alone and sullen and reclusive and obsessive and melancholic and sad all day. maybe that's why it never works and they all realize after a while that the hole is quite devoid of the light they assumed it housed. hm

[Nabokov] got annoyed with people who praised art that was “sincere and simple”, or who believed that the quality of art depended on its simplicity and sincerity. For him, everything was artifice, including the most authentic and deeply felt emotions, to which he himself was not immune. He put it another way too: “In high art and pure science, detail is everything.” He never went back to Russia nor did he ever hear from Tamara. Or perhaps he did so only in the long letters he wrote to his past while ridding himself of each of his moving and artificial books.

Vladimir Nabokov’s note card, c. 1969.

“[March 21 1951]

Student explaining to me (after getting 55) that when reading a novel (’Ulysses’ in this case) he likes to skip ‘passages and pages’ so as ‘to get his own idea, you know, about the book and not be influenced by the author’.”
