I'm thinking of aurochs and angels, the secret of durable pigments, prophetic sonnets, the refuge of art, And this is the only immortality that you and I may share, my Lolita.

Él me destrozó el corazón. Tú destrozaste mi vida.

..."offensive" is frequently but a synonym for "unusual"...

The stars that sparkled, and the cars that parkled, and the bars, and the barmen, were presently taken over by her

Wanted, wanted: Dolores Haze.Hair: brown. Lips: scarlet.Age: five thousand three hundred days.Profession: none, or "starlet".Where are you hiding, Dolores Haze?Why are you hiding, darling?(I talk in a daze, I walk in a maze,I cannot get out, said the starling).

¡Que rara es la vida! La suerte nos abandona cuando más propicia deseamos que nos sea.

My heart seemed everywhere at once.

Unattached details take all the sparkle out of your conversation.

With your little claws, Lolita.
