"A woman's place is in the dome." -Marylou West
"YES, you can have it ALL - just don't expect it to be easy (actually it won't just be hard, it will be massively difficult, but worth every struggle). Try to ignore gender biased counseling, and do whatever it is you love to do."

"The two sentences that I most hate to hear from male colleagues are:
1. 'She wears provocative clothing.' In the 20 years I have been in astronomy I have never heard the statement, " He wears tight clothing."
2. 'She got my job.' My only answer to that statement is, 'He's gotten my job for a thousand years.'" -Anne Kinney
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are all powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. It is not just some of us, it's everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson
"Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all." -Hypatia
