At Cornell University, my professor of European literature, Vladimir Nabokov, changed the way I read and the way I write. Words could paint pictures, I learned from him. Choosing the right word, and the right word order, he illustrated, could make an enormous difference in conveying an image or an idea.

If there is any way you can get colder than you do...Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire...I realize that every picture isn't a work of art...When I feel a little confused, the only thing to do...Invincibility lies in the defence...Innocence most often is a good fortune...
