“I am mystified. I know only one person who voted for Nixon.”
Pauline Kael (1919–2001) American film critic
Attributed to Kael after the 1972 American Presidential election, which Nixon won easily. This misquote is presumably based on "I live in a rather special world." above, but there is no evidence that Kael was mystified or surprised by that election's outcome.
