Author of quotes: Julia Nabokov

... Paris has its own special flavor that has not changed for centuries.
In this city it is impossible not to fall in love. He was alive, had a male character, an aristocratic gallantry and was the opposite of my hometown. Moscow - a woman of dazzling flirtatious beauty. Her outfits - ultra-modern buildings with facades in the latest fashion. Her diamonds - night lights. Her smile - radiant shop Windows. Her whims - it's the overcast sky that for a few minutes can give way to bright sun. In pursuit of fashion she is completely renewed every few years. Paris is not like that. It has the strength of character and masculine restraint. He prefers time-tested classics. His stone look refined and elegant, and eternal values. Moscow was my friend, Paris became her lover.
