Anne-Marie Slaughter Zitate

Deutsche Übersetzung

Wir sollten stolz auf unser Land sein, wenn wir etwas getan haben, auf das wir stolz sein können, wenn wir unseren eigenen Standards gerecht werden. Aber die Kehrseite des echten Stolzes besteht darin, erkennen zu können, wenn wir zu kurz gekommen sind, und uns zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen.

Most people hugely underestimate the amount of 'empty space' we have in our country. Fly over the U.K., and you see that human settlement does not fill up the U.K. at all. It accounts for something of the order of 15 per cent of the landmass.

There's something about seeing a movie that you like, and being able to see the scenes that didn't make it, just as a window into the process of how choices are made and how a movie is made. To me, the idea of getting to have the scenes on the DVD is very exciting.
