Albert Einstein

I had very supportive parents that made the way for me, even at a time when there were very few women - no women, really maybe two or three women - and very few, fewer than that, African-American women heading in this direction, so there were very few people to look up to.

Virginia Woolf

To ridicule philosophy is really to philosophize.

Blaise Pascal
