Eric    Weiner
“As I railed on and on, I became increasingly energied and excited by my own misery and misanthropy until I reached a kind of orgasm of negativity.'... The Brits don't merely enjoy misery, they get off on it.”
Eric Weiner, The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World

Shashi Tharoor
“The British are the only people in history crass enough to have made revolutionaries out of Americans.”
Shashi Tharoor
