| | | "Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita." -Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita, also among favorite opening lines. Jeremy Irons' delivery of the lines in Adrian Lyne's film version captures the poetry perfectly. "The words novelties and souvenirs simply entranced her with their trochaic lilt." -Also from Lolita
