Series 3: Episode 13 - the author on his favourite line from a book...

“You see I loved her, it was love at first sight, at last sight, the ever and ever sight”. 

My favourite line is from ‘Lolita’ by Vladimir Nabokov.  It’s just a summing up of the essence of real love and true love with an incredible economy of words.  He was really a great writer of love stories, Nabokov, he’s really the Barry White of high art.
