More From Vladimir Nabokov

Interesting thing, these fellows never seem to get the idea of perspective-' the bursar thought, or received the thought: that's because perspective is a lie. if i know a pond is round then why should i draw it oval? i will draw it round because round is true. why should my brush lie to you just because my eye lies to me?
