Memoirs of A Spacewoman

[justinhowe]

“Humiliation, however it was produced, was a necessary stage in exploration … out of the very bottom, when the moral and intellectual self one so carefully builds up has been pulled down, when there is nothing between one and the uncaring trampling foot of reality, then one may at last and genuinely observe and know. And the process of humiliation must happen again and again.”

- from Memoirs of a Spacewoman by Naomi Mitchison
