    Vladimir Nabokov
    “All at once we were madly, clumsily, shamelessly, agonizingly in love with each other; hopelessly, I should add, because that frenzy of mutual possession might have been assuaged only by our actually imbibing and assimilating every particle of each other's soul and flesh; but there we were, unable even to mate as slum children would have so easily found an opportunity to do so.”
    ― Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

    Evelyn Waugh
    “It is possible for the rich to sin by coveting the privileges of the poor.
    The poor has always being the favorites of god"

    I caught him’ [the thief] with an unseen hook and an invisible line which is long enough to let him wander to the ends of the world and still bring him back with a twitch upon the thread.”

    Do you know last year, when I thought I was going to have a child, I'd decided to have it brought up a Catholic? I hadn't thought about religion before; I haven't since; but just at that time, when I was was waiting for the birth, I thought, 'That's the one thing I can give her. It doesn't seem to have done me much good, but my child shall have it.'

    Charm is the great English blight. It does not exist outside these damp islands. It spots and kills anything it touches. It kills love; it kills art; I greatly fear, my dear Charles, it has killed you”
    ― Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited

    “Start by pulling him out of the fire and
    hoping that he will forget the smell.
    He was supposed to be an angel but they took him
    from that light and turned him into something hungry,
    something that forgets what his hands are for when they
    aren’t shaking.
    He will lose so much, and you will watch it all happen
    because you had him first, and you would let the world
    break its own neck if it means keeping him.
    Start by wiping the blood off of his chin and
    pretending to understand.
    Repeat to yourself
    “I won’t leave you, I won’t leave you”
    until you fall asleep and dream of the place
    where nothing is red.
    When is a monster not a monster?
    Oh, when you love it.
    Oh, when you used to sing it to sleep.
    Here are your upturned hands.
    Give them to him and watch how he prays
    like he is learning his first words.
    Start by pulling him out of another fire,
    and putting him back together with the pieces
    you find on the floor.
    There is so much to forgive, but you do not
    know how to forget.
    When is a monster not a monster?
    Oh, when you are the reason it has become so mangled.
    Here is your humble offering,
    obliterated and broken in the mouth
    of this abandoned church.
    He has come back to stop the world
    from turning itself inside out, and you love him, you do,
    so you won’t let him.
    Tell him that you will never know any better.”

    Oscar Wilde
    “Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.”
