I am among those who think that science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician: he is also a child placed before natural phenomena which impress him like a fairy tale. – Marie Curie
In science, we must be interested in things, not in persons. – Marie Curie
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child. – Marie Curie
Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained. – Marie Curie
