Ada or Ardor: A Family Chronicle (1969) - Vladimir Nabokov

This quote was added by loobyloo5273
During the week following her birthday, Ada's unfortunate fingernails used to stay garnet-stained and after a particularly ecstatic, lost-to-the-world session of scratching, blood literally streamed down her shins-a pity to see, mused her distressed admirer, but at the same time disgracefully fascinating-for we are visitors and investigators in a strange universe, indeed, indeed.
