Nancy Mitford

Quotes

• “The great advantage of living in a large family is that early lesson of life’s essential unfairness.”

• “I am sometimes bored by people, but never by life.”

• “If somebody could write a book for people who never read they would make a fortune.”

• “I think housework is far more tiring and frightening than hunting is, no comparison, and yet after hunting we had eggs for tea and were made to rest for hours, but after housework people expect one to go on just as if nothing special had happened.”
