this is my quote but im not sure where to put my parenthetic citations

With all these emotions building up Humbert goes from being a “genius” to a “pervert and a fool”. (Morton, 392) (Wallace, 304)

Angel - You should put the genius citation from Morton after that quote and then the Wallace citation after the second quote. It would look something like this:

With all these emotions building up Humbert goes from being a “genius” (Morton, 392) to a “pervert and a fool.” (Wallace, 304)

Remember to always put the period inside the quotations.

Period inside quotes, check. what if im trying to site a word like "destroy" that has been used more than once in the book? do i site it like regular and put the page numbers?

Example: sngfidf vivi sifnif ewrifnin "destroy." (Nabokov, 23,56)

I think it's sufficient to just cite one - though if you're referring to a specific instance for context then you'll want to refer to just that page.
