Great Quotes 004

"There was the day-when having withdrawn the functional promise I had made her on the eve (whatever she had set her funny little heart on-a roller rink with some special plastic floor or a movie matinee to which she wanted to go alone), I happened to glimpse through the bathroom, through a chance combination of mirror aslant and door ajar, a look on her face...that look I cannot exactly describe...an expression of helplessness so perfect that it seemed to grade into one of rather comfortable inanity-just because this was the very limit of injustice and frustration-and every limit presupposes something beyond it-"
-Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita
