Dorrit Moussaieff Quotes

“Iceland is not a little country. Iceland is the most big country in the world.”

Said in Beijing (2008-08-22) and quoted in "Stórasta Land I Heiminu," http://www.dv.is/frettir/2008/8/22/storasta-land-i-heiminu/ DS.iv (2008-08-22). Note: "Stórasta" is more of a lapsus linguae than "most big," as to a native Icelandic speaker it would sound much worse grammatically than in English.
