Reading Lolita in Tehran (2003)
Context: A novel is not an allegory... It is the sensual experience of another world. If you don't enter that world, hold your breath with the characters and become involved in their destiny, you won't be able to empathize, and empathy is at the heart of the novel. This is how you read a novel: you inhale the experience. So start breathing.
“It is your decisions, and not your conditions, that determine your destiny.”
Variant: It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.
“It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.”
