I always knew I’d go to space  (Mae Jemison Quotes) We look at science as something very elite, which only a few people can learn. That’s just not true. You just have to start early and give kids a foundation. Kids live up, or down, to expectations.  (Mae Jemison Quotes) The difference between science and the arts is not that they are different sides of the same coin even, or even different parts of the same continuum, but rather, they are manifestations of the same thing. The arts and sciences are avatars of human creativity.  (Mae Jemison Quotes) I think science fiction helps us think about possibilities, to speculate - it helps us look at our society from a different perspective. It lets us look at our mores, using science as the backdrop, as the game changer.  (Mae Jemison Quotes) Sometimes people ask me how difficult the astronaut program was, but being in Sierra Leone, being responsible for the health of more than 200 people, seven days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, at age 26 - that prepared me to take on a lot of different challenges.  (Mae Jemison Quotes) I stayed in the astronaut program until 1993. People ask me why I left. I thought I had a lot of things to contribute that would be difficult to do if I stayed. I thought I could have a stronger voice as an advocate for space exploration. So I ended up starting my own technology consulting company.  (Mae Jemison Quotes) I went to school at night in L.A. to brush up on my engineering while I applied to the astronaut program. I really did not know if I would get in. It was the year after the Challenger accident in 1987.  (Mae Jemison Quotes) Greatness can be captured in one word: lifestyle. Life is God’s gift to you, style is what you make of it  (Mae Jemison Quotes) Some of the most fun people I know are scientists  (Mae Jemison Quotes) The arts and sciences are avatars of human creativity  (Mae Jemison Quotes) Never be limited by other people’s limited imaginations  (Mae Jemison Quotes) The future never just happened. It was created  (Mae Jemison Quotes) People always think of technology as something having silicon in it. But a pencil is technology. Any language is technology. Technology is a tool we use to accomplish a particular task and when one talks about appropriate technology in developing countries, appropriate may mean anything from fire to solar electricity  (Mae Jemison Quotes) Don’t let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity. It’s your place in the world; it’s your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live  (Mae Jemison Quotes) As an astronaut, you have a very defined set of tasks to do. Those tasks may require you to work 60, 70 or 80 hours a week  (Mae Jemison Quotes) What we find is that if you have a goal that is very, very far out, and you approach it in little steps, you start to get there faster. Your mind opens up to the possibilities  (Mae Jemison Quotes) I wanted to be a professional dancer for a period of time, and I did a lot of dancing and choreography and got paid for it  (Mae Jemison Quotes) You have the right to be involved. You have something important to contribute, and you have to take the risk to contribute it  (Mae Jemison Quotes) My parents were comfortable with me exploring areas that they were not proficient in. Some parents just aren’t comfortable with that  (Mae Jemison Quotes) We look at science as something very elite, which only a few people can learn. That’s just not true. You just have to start early and give kids a foundation. Kids live up, or down, to expectations  (Mae Jemison Quotes) The difference between science and the arts is not that they are different sides of the same coin… or even different parts of the same continuum, but rather, they are manifestations of the same thing. The arts and sciences are avatars of human creativity  (Mae Jemison Quotes) The thing that I have done throughout my life is to do the best job that I can and to be me  (Mae Jemison Quotes) Science provides an understanding of a universal experience, and arts provides a universal understanding of a personal experience  (Mae Jemison Quotes)
