For the Obama inauguration, on France 2 TV Bernard-Henri Lévy said that
Nabokov always said that one can judge a man by the way he speaks. He was
speaking French and there was no direct quotation, but can anyone identify the

Nabokov ALWAYS said this? How would one reconcile this with Nabokov's
written assertion: "I think like a genius, I write like a distinguished author, and
I speak like a child"?
