Dictionary.com's Word of the Day for September 15 was "riparian"; one
of the examples of its use is from a VN interview:
[What about your social circle?] "A steady stream of brilliant American
intellectuals visiting me in the riparian solitude of a beautifully
reflected sunset."
-- Vladimir Nabokov, "Nabokov on Nabokov and Things", New York Times,
May 12, 1968
The interview, of course, appeared not in the New York Times, but in
the New York Times Book Review, and is one of those reprinted in Strong
Opinions.

"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious ... the
fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true
science." - Albert Einstein (1879-1955).
