Quotes

But I think she would have been happy with Fabrice,' I said. 'He was the great love of her life, you know.'Oh, dulling,' said my mother, sadly. 'One always thinks that. Every, every time. Nancy Mitford
She was filled with a strange, wild, unfamiliar happiness, and knew that this was love. Twice in her life she had mistaken something else for it; it was like seeing somebody in the street who you think is a friend, you whistle and wave and run after him, but it is not only not the friend, but not even very like him. A few minutes later the real friend appears in view, and then you can’t imagine how you ever mistook that other person for him. Nancy Mitford
If I had a girl I should say to her, 'Marry for love if you can, it won't last, but it is a very interesting experience and makes a good beginning in life. Later on, when you marry for money, for heaven's sake let it be big money. There are no other possible reasons for marrying at all. Nancy Mitford
The trouble is that people seem to expect happiness in life. I can't imagine why; but they do. They are unhappy before they marry, and they imagine to themselves that the reason of their unhappiness will be removed when they are married. When it isn't they blame the other person, which is clearly absurd. I believe that is what generally starts the trouble. Nancy Mitford
Linda's presentation of the 'facts' had been so gruesome that the children left Alconleigh howling dismally, their nerves permanently impaired, their future chances of a sane and happy sex life much reduced. Nancy Mitford
Nancy Mitford quote: "Life is sometimes sad and often dull, but there are currants..."
Life is sometimes sad and often dull, but there are currants in the cake, and here is one of them. Nancy Mitford
I have only ever read one book in my life, and that is White Fang. It's so frightfully good I've never bothered to read another. Nancy Mitford
You've no idea how long life goes on and how many, many changes it brings. Young people seem to imagine that it's over in a flash, that they do this thing, or that thing, and then die, but I can assure you they are quite wrong. Nancy Mitford
Nancy Mitford quote: "Life itself, she thought, as she went upstairs to dress for..."
Life itself, she thought, as she went upstairs to dress for dinner, was stranger than dreams and far, far more disordered. Nancy Mitford
They spoke as though these Princes are so remote from life as we know it that the smallest sign of humanity, the mere fact even that they communicated by means of speech was worth noting and proclaiming. Nancy Mitford
