[Vwoolf] Source of Quote

[Sarah M. Hall]

 Google Books UK version says it comes from Nabokov's Ada: The Place of Consciousness, by Brian Boyd, Ardis, 1985 (p. 5).
A bit self-referential, this query, isn't it?

Does this ring a bell with anyone? 
"Thethrill of finding an allusion, of locating the precise source of a teasing echo, of suddenly catching an obscure pun or seeing what should have been an obvious joke makes the reader alert, curious, eager to find new puzzles to solve."
