"I catalogued not just stars but the possibility of women's potential."

"Work that one loves is never truly work; it is transformation."

"I learned that recognition is secondary to the joy of discovery itself."

"The universe speaks a language of mathematics and light; I have become fluent in it."

"In my later years, I realized that legacy is not what we leave behind, but what we illuminate for others."
