Vera Rubin

It's important to encourage young people to pursue science.

The universe is a beautiful puzzle.

We are all explorers in this vast universe.

I'm driven by curiosity.

The universe is a testament to the power of nature.

We are constantly learning new things about the universe.

The universe is a source of inspiration.

It's a privilege to be able to contribute to our understanding of the universe.

I believe that science can help us understand our place in the universe.

The universe is a never-ending story.

We are all part of the cosmic dance.

Science is not a 'man's world.' It is a world for scientists.

I'm not interested in being a role model. I'm interested in doing science.

If I had been born in 1900, I would have been a housewife.

I decided that if I couldn't be an astronomer, I'd be a mathematician. And if I couldn't be a mathematician, I'd be a physicist. And if I couldn't be a physicist, I'd be a chemist. And if I couldn't be a chemist, I'd be a biologist. And if I couldn't be a biologist, I'd be a geologist. And if I couldn't be a geologist, I'd be a housewife.

I don't believe in the Nobel Prize. I believe in science.

I don't think there's any such thing as a 'woman scientist.' There are just scientists.

The greatest discovery of all time is that the universe is not empty.

I'm not a feminist. I'm a scientist.

I'm not a 'woman astronomer.' I'm an astronomer who happens to be a woman.
