I would like to track down the source of the quote.
Thanks in advance.

"Of all the thousands of characters in his work, Nabokov once said, Lolita
came second in his list of those he admired most as people. Top of the list
came Pnin, another courageous victim." (Brian Boyd, _VN: The American
Years_, p.237n)
