“ As Maria Mitchell pointed out in 1875, 'Science needs women'. ”
Love's language is imprecise,fits more like mittens than gloves.
~ Jeannine Atkins
Names and knowledge change, the way the turningworld brings color or deep shadows, without a soundeven as soft as the twist of a key in a lock.
There's more in the earth than anyone knows. We'll find wonders.
No one wants to stumble into gates on moonless nights to trip in holes dug by dogs, but Maria finds more beauty than danger in night.
