"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."

(Nancy Freeman-Mitford, scrittrice e giornalista; Londra, 28 novembre 1904 – Versailles, 30 giugno 1973)
