 "We're going to make history" .

Great movie about passion, choices and compassion, based on a real story. 

- You're gonna build a car to beat Ferrari with... a Ford.
- Correct.
- And how long did they tell you that they need it? Two, three hundred years?
- Ninety days.

“i do not want to have you
to fill the empty parts of me
i want to be full on my own
i want to fill so complete
i could light a whole city
and then
i want to have you
cause the two of us combined
could set it on fire”

Мне нужно было отставить те завышенные стандарты, которые я установила не только для себя, но и ожидала, что другие будут им соответствовать. Конечно же, не сознательно. Я считала, что я была любящей и заботливой, когда в действительности я лишь навязывала свое видение правильного поведения другим. Возможно, это было слишком – и для них, и для меня. Пора было развеять эти идеалы и закопать такие мечты. Мне нужно было найти более нежный, более сочувственный способ.
Может, я действительно подключилась к истории своей души, а может, и придумывала все. Это не имело значения. Сообщение оставалось тем же: «Отпусти прошлое. Расслабься. Пропусти. Прости. Двигайся дальше».

"Я остановилась в кафе, чтобы выпить кофе с молоком, где я снова встретила женщину из Швейцарии, которую, как оказалось, звали Инга. Она шла уже почти два месяца, начав в Швейцарии. Я была так впечатлена этим, что у меня аж рот раскрылся от удивления. Ей пришлось идти через Альпы, а тут стояла я, с трудом прошедшая через Пиренеи. Я поделилась с ней тем, как мне было тяжело последние четыре дня, и она мне посоветовала не судить себя строго. Ей также было тяжело первые несколько дней. Затем она сказала: «Знаете, это не сам Путь такой сложный. Сложно нести весь свой моральный и эмоциональный багаж с собой. Путь не приветствует негативную энергию и призывает расстаться с ней... ""

"I felt then, as I do now, that what matters is what you do and how you do it, the quality of the time you spend, and the people you share it with"

"The political implications were clear: where Reagan’s staff saw a need to distance him and the administration from Thatcher’s difficulties, he saw a need to give her the strong public backing she needed to survive them. He was risking political capital on her behalf. That was a more solid commitment than any number of diplomatic compliments. This protectiveness went in two directions. Later in the year, at the Ottawa summit, where Reagan was both making his G-7 debut and recovering from Hinckley’s gunshot, Thatcher gave him support he badly needed by speaking out strongly in favor of his economic strategy to a conference that was still largely skeptical. She also ensured that the communiqué reflected their economic views rather than the statist solutions of their host, Canada’s Pierre Trudeau. Later that year Thatcher joined Reagan in torpedoing any idea of placing the IMF and the World Bank under UN control at a UN summit in Mexico that had been billed as the start of a “North–South dialogue.” That brought to an effective end the 1970s campaign by Third World countries for a “new world economic order” built around such ideas as directed investment and controlled raw material prices. Thereafter Thatcher consistently gave Reagan loyal backing at G-7 meetings. “When there were disagreements between the seven,” Reagan said after leaving office, “we found we were always on the same side". "

"Thatcher was able to use forceful tactics, occasionally rough ones, for a simple but important reason: Reagan didn’t mind. He liked her, admired her abilities, was prepared to tolerate strong expressions of disagreement within the context of overall support, and was even amused by her occasional outbursts. One time when she was thundering disagreement down the phone line from London, he held up the telephone so that the rest of his meeting could hear and said, “Isn’t she wonderful?” But their partnership, however close, ultimately depended on each partner being able to deliver. While Thatcher was prime minister, she was almost invariably able to deliver."

"...Elizebeth’s descriptions of her work gave me a sense of what it must have felt like to be her - the excitement of solving the kind of puzzle that could save a life or nudge a war".

"Do you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be? I do. And she provides a constant point of reference for self-awareness, and she got me to go to that gig and I loved it. It’s a question that we could benefit from asking ourselves on a regular basis. The ultimate win would be in marrying these two worlds, adopting our younger mindsets with the capacity that we gain as adults. Because in reality, the eight year-old in you was right. But if you want to sail the galaxies then you should probably start now.

And it starts with realizing that you can."

"Одного дзенского мастера спросили: — Что вы обычно делали до того, как стали Просветлённым? Он сказал: — Я обычно рубил дрова и носил воду из колодца. Затем его спросили: — А теперь, когда вы стали Просветлённым, что вы делаете? Он ответил: — Что же ещё я могу делать? Я рублю дрова и ношу воду из колодца. "
