Maria Mitchell Quotes


"(Astronomical) observations... are peculiarly adapted to women... The eye that directs a needle in the delicate meshes of embroidery will equally well bisect a star with the spider web of the micrometer." ~Maria Mitchell (1818-1889, Astronomer, Educator)

"For women there are, undoubtedly, great difficulties in the path, but so much the more to overcome. First, no woman should say, "I am but a woman!" But a woman! What more can you ask to be?" ~Maria Mitchell

"We have a hunger of the mind which asks for knowledge of all around us; and the more we gain, the more is our desire. The more we see, the more we are capable of seeing." ~Maria Mitchell, 1818-1889, American astronomer, educator
