Beauty

More quotes by Nia Imara

Love is the ultimate thing, I want that to be the connection between everything I do: science, art, or otherwise.

It’s frustrating for me, when people just talk about things at a superficial level and then try to solve the problem through diversity programs.

It’s the strangeness of the universe that has always been my favorite part of physics.

The link between art and science for me is my love of color and my love of light.

Imagination is a huge part of what it means to do science, and I often imagine what it would be like to be up close to these environments.

Whose veil is unremoved
Till heart with heart in concord beats,
And the lover is beloved.

The eyes of men without an orator.
