Yup, it was Nabokov! Love the quote, btw. And those are some great additions.

This quote is from Vladimir Nabokov, an American born Russian author, died in 1977.

As has now been mentioned four times before me, your quote this week is from Vladimir Nabokov. Both quotes have been great choices!
Nabokov.
I have been a reader/subscriber since September/October of 2008... not long after I became a blogger myself. I don't remember how I found you (and, Anna), but you two have been my "STAPLES" ever since. You are one of my ALL TIME favorite bloggers.
What do I like about you?
It's the small things.
It's the book reviews that are so eloquently written.
It's your heart that shines through in your posts.
It's the cool design of your blog that I love checking out.
I'm starting to get into the poetry..
You're just A MUST!
Congrats on your anniversary and many more to come!
Thanks for the opportunity to congratulate you and enter!

Vladimir Nabokov. I think I subscribed to your blog during BBAW last year - that's when I discovered a lot of new blogs. I've kept you in my reader because I love reading what you have to say! milou2ster(at)gmail.com
I'm just here to wish you a happy blogiversary! Very cool. Hope you're having a great week.
1. Vladimir Nabokov
2. I love book blogs and I really enjoy your posts.
3. Sometime near the beginning of the year. Its when I really discovered blogs and yours was one of the first.

Looking at everyone else's answers, I must be right or we're all wrong. :) Nabokov!
Congratulations on your 2nd anniversary!!! Thanks so much for all you do for the community. I love the War Through the Generations Challenge and it's pretty much the only one I've been able to keep up. I'm half way there.
I started following your blog about a month ago. I found it from one of the other blogs I read, either The Novel Bookworm or Bingo, not sure. I love the look of your site and that you include a lot of poetry not just novels.

I'm clueless on the quote but I like it! And happy 2 Year Blogiversary! That is amazing! Here's to many more years!
fun challenge serena!

I've only been following book blogs for a couple of months now. I think I discovered your blog through Bermudaonion's Blog.
I love reading your reviews. I've even enjoyed the poetry.

I love the book reviews here. I've ended up adding many a new book to my wish list after reading your reviews. You've also introduced me to many books/authors I haven't heard of.
I've been following since May or so, I believe.

This is one of my favourite posts - great review and interview. After reading this, I added this book to my TBR list:
