Vladimir Nabokov

 

"As I look back at those years of exile, I see myself, and thousands of other Russians, leading an odd, but by no means unpleasant existence, in material indigence and intellectual luxury, among perfectly unimportant strangers, spectral Germans and Frenchmen in whose more or less illusory cities we, emigres, happened to dwell." - Vladimir Nabokov, Speak, Memory
