Matching Quote
"And what do I care if she marries another? every other night I dream of her dresses and things on an endless
clothesline
of bliss, in a ceaseless wind of possession, and her husband shall never learn what I do to the silks and fleece of the dancing witch. This is love's supreme accomplishment. I am happy—yes, happy! What more can I do to prove it, how to proclaim that I am happy? Oh, to shout it so that all of you believe me at last, you cruel, smug people."
-Vladimir Nabokov
