Conversely, there have been hundreds of beautiful or clever or well-designed covers published over the years, but very few have actually made it to cultural icon status. There are plenty of terrible covers for Lolita and also some good ones, but this isn’t quite enough either. The iconic image that you’re thinking of-heart-shaped sunglasses, etc.-is of course from Stanley Kubrick’s film adaptation, and while it has been used in various ways on multiple Lolita reprints since, that’s not quite the same thing. For instance, I would argue that, famous as the book may be, there is no iconic cover of Lolita. There is some relationship, of course, between a book’s inherent popularity and endurance (we might call this its “classic” status) and the recognizability of its cover, particularly its first cover, if it was done right, and there can also be a relationship between the quality of design itself and its iconic-ness, but neither of these things are necessarily predictive. (That’s an admittedly hazy threshold, but what isn’t these days?) That is: the most iconic book covers exist as cultural artifacts that are attached to, but slightly separate from, the books they were designed for. But in order to compile this list, I looked for recognizability, ubiquity, and reproduction-that is, if there are a million Etsy stores selling t-shirts/buttons/posters/tote bags with the book cover, or if someone you know has ever dressed up as it for Halloween, or has a tattoo of it, it probably counts as iconic. What makes a book cover iconic? There are no hard and fast rules, of course-like anything else, you know it when you see it. Be strong, stand tall, 'and your people will never be destroyed.'.First things first. All of your life, you will continue to meet people who like you, and those that will attack you.

And when they catch you, they will kill you. The most inspirational line of the movie is 'All the world will be your enemy. Not that you can avoid death, but that you can have a sense of self preservation, purpose, and a place in life. It's spirituality lies in it's initial message, which is about facing death, and avoiding it as well. This is a film both adults and children alike will enjoy and learn from, because it is a social commentary on facism, and it is a spiritual film. The only difference is that it's animated with 'cute & cuddly' cartoon characters.

This was like watching a Terrence Malick film beautiful, subtle, spiritual, and important for our lives. The first great animated film to come around in the entire history of motion pictures! It's not only original(shying away from the traditional 'Disney' formula), but it's the first animated film to ponder the meaning of life itself! I was really moved by it! With 'Disney' films, you know what to expect.
