“Seeing the name Hillary in a headline last week—a headline about a life that had involved real achievement—I felt a mouse stirring in the attic of my memory. Eventually, I was able to recall how the two Hillarys had once been mentionable in the same breath. On a first-lady goodwill tour of Asia in April 1995—the kind of banal trip that she now claims as part of her foreign-policy 'experience'—Mrs. Clinton had been in Nepal and been briefly introduced to the late Sir Edmund Hillary, conqueror of Mount Everest. Ever ready to milk the moment, she announced that her mother had actually named her for this famous and intrepid explorer. The claim 'worked' well enough to be repeated at other stops and even showed up in Bill Clinton's memoirs almost a decade later, as one more instance of the gutsy tradition that undergirds the junior senator from New York.

Sen. Clinton was born in 1947, and Sir Edmund Hillary and his partner Tenzing Norgay did not ascend Mount Everest until 1953, so the story was self-evidently untrue and eventually yielded to fact-checking. Indeed, a spokeswoman for Sen. Clinton named Jennifer Hanley phrased it like this in a statement in October 2006, conceding that the tale was untrue but nonetheless charming: 'It was a sweet family story her mother shared to inspire greatness in her daughter, to great results I might add.'

Perfect. It worked, in other words, having been coined long after Sir Edmund became a bankable celebrity, but now its usefulness is exhausted and its untruth can safely be blamed on Mummy.”

“And this is a Buddhist country?” said Matt, “This is a country of lovingkindness and compassion? Hah. I think the Americans would call this ‘tough love.’ ”
“That is the paradox of Buddhism,” said Ranjit, “As a young doctor I would see these violent things and wonder why they happened, knowing that it was not something that Buddhists should do. Then I realized we are not born Buddhist. All the focus on channeling anger and dealing with hardship did not emanate from these people…. It was a lesson to these people. We are a land of Buddhists because we need to hear the lessons of Buddha, not because we follow Buddha.”

“Questo libro raccoglie l'esperienza del mio viaggio in Nepal, un viaggio indimenticabile che mi ha permesso di vedere il mondo con occhi diversi.
Un itinerario iniziato e terminato a Kathmandu, accompagnato per gran parte del viaggio dalla guida locale Mahesh che oltre a darmi informazioni sui luoghi, mi parlava anche della storia del Paese e le divinità.
Ho potuto ammirare posti straordinari da Pokhara a Dhulikel, visitando monasteri buddisti/induisti e luoghi sacri, ma anche vedere le devastazioni causate del terremoto del 2015.
Il libro è stato creato come una sorta di guida-diario (con anche qualche foto), narrando le mie sensazioni e i luoghi visitati, senza trascurare qualche piccola curiosità e un evento a dir poco tragicomico.”

The People of Nepal welcome everyone with love and affection. I have stayed here from 2015 to 2025, and I have felt peace, calmness, and I discovered a deeper meaning of life.
