“I live and work with three basic assumptions:
1) There is no problem in science that can be solved by a man that cannot be solved by a woman.
2) Worldwide, half of all brains are in women.
3) We all need permission to do science, but, for reasons that are deeply ingrained in history, this permission is more often given to men than to women.”

El Profeta Enmascarado

“Del fondo del desierto vertiginoso (cuyo sol da fiebre, así como su luna da el pasmo) vieron adelantarse tres figuras, que les parecieron altísimas. Las tres eran humanas y la del medio tenía cabeza de toro. Cuando se aproximaron, vieron que éste usaba una máscara y que los otros dos eran ciegos.
«Están ciegos», el hombre de la máscara declaró, «porque han visto mi cara».”

“El tintorero enmascarado Hákim de Merv”, Jorge Luis Borges
