More From Maria Mitchell
- "I was a little doubtful about the propriety of going to the Mammoth Cave without a gentleman escort, but if two ladies travel alone they must have the courage of men."
- "We travel to learn; and I have never been in any country where they did not do something better than we do it, think some thoughts better than we think, catch some inspiration from heights above our own."
- "I would as soon put a girl alone into a closet to meditate as give her only the society of her needle."
