“I am a Lolita. I do not believe in growing up. No matter how old I get, I shall remain devoted to ruffles and frills.”
“It is good to know, no matter how long I am gone...you do not grow up too much.”
“But I, alas, do not know how to see sheep through the walls of boxes. Perhaps I am a little like the grown-ups. I have had to grow old.”
“What must I do? I see nothing but obscurities on every side.''Shall I believe I am nothing? Shall I believe I am God?”
“I grow old … I grow old … I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.”
“I am learning, and I believe I shall do quite well.”
