margaret carter was known to most as the founder of shield. but i just know her as aunt peggy. […] i asked her once how she managed to master diplomacy and espionage at a time when no one wanted to see a woman succeed at either. and she said “compromise where you can. where you can’t, don’t. even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right. even if the whole world is telling you to move, it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye, and say ”no, you move“.

Margaret Carter was known to most as the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D. But I just know her as Aunt Peggy. She had a photograph in her office: Aunt Peggy standing next to JFK. As a kid that was pretty cool. But it was a lot to live up to, which is why I never told anyone we were related. I asked her once how she managed to master diplomacy and espionage at a time when no one wanted to see a woman succeed at either. And she said, “Compromise where you can. Where you can’t, don’t.

I’m sorry, Daniel, but Stark hates water. He can’t even swim. Really? How do you -
the scene in the first avenger when peggy carter asks a soldier to step forward and then she fucking decks him in the face and straight up knocks him to the ground without once showing an emotion changed me as a person
the flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and most beautiful of all.
