I havent ever really found a place that I call home — Dido

"If you were a king up there on your throne would you be wise enough to let me go? For this queen you think you own Wants to be a hunter again wants to see the world alone again to take a chance on life again so let me go."

"My teas gone cold, Im wondering why I got out of bed at all the morning rain clouds up my window and I cant see at all And even if I could itd all be grey, but your picture on my wall it reminds me that its not so bad its not so bad"

"When youre stoned, baby, I am drunk. And we make love, it seems a little desolate Its hard sometimes not to look away And think whats the point when Im having to hold this fire down I think Ill explode if I cant feel this freely now. When your stalled baby take me home."

"At one point a heated discussion arose over the possible interpretation of Lolita as a grandiose metaphor of the classic Europeans hopeless love for young, seductive, barbaric America. In his afterword to the novel Nabokov himself mentions this as the naive theory of one of the publishers who turned the book down. And although there cant be the slightest doubt that Nabokov did not mean to limit Lolita to that interpretation, there is no reason to exclude it as one of the novels many dimensions.

You have no idea how effective such a... a... faculty can be. He had no genius for organizing, for initiative, or for order even. That was evident in such things as the deplorable state of the station. He had no learning, and no intelligence. His position had come to him — why? Perhaps because he was never ill . . . He had served three terms of three years out there . . . Because triumphant health in the general rout of constitutions is a kind of power in itself."
