actually terrifying covers for Lolita: Max Temesu & Linn Olofsdotter

“Lolita is not about love, because love is always mutual; Lolita is about obsession, which is never, ever love, and Nabokov himself was so disappointed that people did not understand this and take away the right message… For how could anyone call this feeding frenzy of selfishness, devouring, and destruction ‘love’?“ - Vanity Fair’s Gregor von Rezzori

this is the only lolita post I will ever reblog. 

This quote is actually misattributed - Mary Gaitskill wrote it, in response to Gregor von Rezzori calling Lolita “the only convincing love story of our century,” which is abhorrent.
