“You do not have to choose
one or the other: a dream or a dreamer, the
bird or the birder. You may be a woman of
commotion and quiet. Magic and brain.

You can be a mother and a poet. A wife and
a lover. You can dance on the graves you dug
on Tuesday, pulling out the bones of yourself
you began to miss.”
― Kate Baer, What Kind of Woman: Poems

“Würde die Menschheit dieselben Anstrengungen in die Raumfahrt stecken wie die Redaktionen von Frauenzeitschriften in Blowjob-Ratgeber, könnten wir längst zum Kaffeetrinken auf den Mars.”
― Margarete Stokowski, Untenrum frei

“I wish I could have one nice interaction with everyone and then disappear.”
― Emily R. Austin, Interesting Facts about Space

“Be the best. Work harder, work smarter. Exceed every expectation. But also, be invisible, imperceptible. Don’t make anyone uncomfortable. Don’t inconvenience. Exist in the negative only, the space around. Do not insert yourself into the main narrative. Go unnoticed. Become the air. Open your eyes.”
― Natasha Brown, Assembly
