‘We Especially Need Imagination in Science’ — Maria Mitchell Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Literary Tee — Classic Tee

“We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry.” Maria Mitchell — the first professional woman astronomer in America, who discovered a comet in 1847 — set this down in her journal around 1871, insisting the discipline runs on imagination as much as arithmetic. She saw poetry and proof as neighbors: science needs the leap of beauty as much as the rigor of logic.
