Ada Lovelace

The Analytical Engine is a machine that can be used to unlock the secrets of the universe.

I am more than ever now the Bride of Science. Religion to me is Science, and Science is Religion.

I never am without some visions of the future, and of the great things I am to do.

The more I study, the more insatiable do I feel my genius for it to be.

I believe myself to possess a most singular combination of qualities exactly fitted to make me pre-eminently a discoverer of the hidden realities of nature.

I am a good deal more than a mere mathematician. I am a metaphysician.

I do not believe that the Analytical Engine has any pretensions whatever to originate anything. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform.

The Analytical Engine weaves algebraic patterns just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves.

I am in a state of mental intoxication, and I must write.

I am a firm believer in the power of imagination, and I am convinced that it is the key to all scientific discovery.

The Analytical Engine might act upon other things besides number, were objects found whose mutual fundamental relations could be expressed by those of the abstract science of operations.

I am a great admirer of the beautiful, and I believe that mathematics is one of the most beautiful things in the world.

I am a bit of a rebel, and I like to challenge the status quo.

I am a woman of science, and I am proud of it.

I am not afraid to be different, and I am not afraid to stand out from the crowd.

I have a mind that is always working, always thinking, always creating.

I am a visionary, and I see a future where technology will change the world.

I am a pioneer, and I am blazing a trail for others to follow.

I am a force to be reckoned with, and I am not to be underestimated.

I am a woman of passion, and I am passionate about everything I do.
