“I always call him Lewis Carroll Carroll, because he was the first Humbert Humbert.”

“Are you Lewis Carroll?" Redd asked him.”

“Tumbling into a dark, Lewis Carroll labyrinth of filth, pursuing a white rabbit of smut!”

“Humbert Humbert: You know, I've missed you terribly. Lolita Haze: I haven't missed you. In fact, I've been revoltingly unfaithful to you. Humbert Humbert: Oh? Lolita Haze: But it doesn't matter a bit, because you've stopped caring anyway. Humbert Humbert: What makes you say I've stopped caring for you? Lolita Haze: Well, you haven't even kissed me yet, have you?”

“...under no circumstances would he [Humbert Humbert] have interfered with the innocence of a child, if there was the least risk of a row.”

“Lewis Carroll. He was an odd one. Real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. Completely denied having anything to do with the Alice books. Daft as a brush. You'd have liked him!”
