Vera Rubin

The universe is constantly evolving.

I've always been a very determined person.

I think it's important to enjoy what you do.

The universe is full of wonders.

I'm proud of the work I've done.

I think it's important to be patient.

The universe is a complex system.

I've always been a very independent person.

I think it's important to be humble.

The universe is a source of endless inspiration.

I've always been a very curious person.

I think it's important to be persistent in the face of adversity.

We have peered into a new world and have seen that it is more mysterious and more complex than we had imagined.

In a spiral galaxy, the ratio of dark-to-light matter is about ten; that is, there is about ten times more dark matter than visible luminous matter.

The universe is not only stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine.

I don't care if you're a man or a woman, just be a scientist.

The biggest problem is that the universe is not what we thought it was.

We are like children who have been given a vast and beautiful toy, and we are just beginning to learn how to play with it.

I just want to understand the universe.

The data are telling us something very profound.
