The reward of the young scientist is the emotional thrill of being the first person in the history of the world to see something or to understand something. Nothing can compare with that experience... The reward of the old scientist is the sense of having seen a vague sketch grow into a masterly landscape.

I like to think of ideas as potential energy. They're really wonderful, but nothing will happen until we risk putting them into action.

Science progresses best when observations force us to alter our preconceptions.
Jocelyn Bell Burnell ➤ Astronomer

| by Darryl Cunningham One of the things women bring to a research project, or indeed any project, is they come from a different place, they've got a different background. Science has been named, developed, interpreted by white males for decades and women view the conventional wisdom from a slightly different angle — and that sometimes means they can clearly point to flaws in the logic, gaps in the argument, they can give a different perspective of what science is. |

Science, for me, gives a partial explanation for life. In so far as it goes, it is based on fact, experience and experiment.

My father said, Don't grow up to be a woman, and what he meant by that was, a housewife ... without any interests.
Emilie Du Chatelet ➤ Mathematician

| by Bodil Jane Love of learning is the most necessary passion ... in it lies our happiness. It's a sure remedy for what ails us, an unending source of pleasure.
Henrietta Swan Leavitt ➤ Astronomer
|
''Hubble tackled two of the most fundamental questions of the universe: how old is it, and how big? To answer both it is necessary to know two things—how far away certain galaxies are and how fast they are flying away from us. The red shift gives the speed at which galaxies are retiring, but doesn't tell us how far away they are to begin with. For that you need what are known as "standard candles"—stars whose brightness can be reliably calculated and used as benchmarks... Hubble's luck was to come along soon after an ingenious woman named Henrietta Swan Leavitt had figured out a way to do so.''
Bill Bryson, A Short History of Nearly Everything (2003)
