In Vladimir Nabokov's book "Look at the Harlequins!", he expresses the idea that to fully experience the richness of life, we must elevate our perceptions and embrace the artistic treasures human creativity has to offer. By "tingling" or reaching beyond our everyday experiences, we open ourselves to new dimensions of art and thought that can deeply enrich our existence.

Nabokov suggests that life presents us with a wealth of opportunities for enjoyment and understanding, but only if we are willing to rise above our usual state. This journey to engage with the finest aspects of art demands a conscious effort to explore and appreciate the complexities and beauties that lie just beyond our routine encounters.
