"I don't like Americans or America. I'm getting old and only have a certain amount of time and I don't want to waste a day in a place where I would be miserable."
"Is your dislike of Americans based on anything that happened in your childhood?"
"How ridiculous. I didn't even know America existed before the war."
"So you started hating them when the war came?"
"Yes, I'll never forget what a bore it as when they joined the war. We were having a wonderful time and they came along and spoiled our finest hour."
– Nancy Mitford, from an interview with Art Buchwald in the New York Herald Tribune, April 1957
