Vladimir Nabokov Quotes
I do not begin my novel at the beginning, I do not reach chapter three before I reach chapter four, I do not go dutifully from one page to the next, in consecutive order; no, I pick out a bit here and a bit there, till I have filled all the gaps on paper. This is why I like writing my stories and novels on index cards, numbering them later when the whole set is complete. Every card is rewritten many times.

It is safest to assume that our throats have already been slit, that the slightest alteration in our postures will cause the painless severance of our heads.
