Curie herself: |
Nothing
in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be
done.

us we would see the luminous silhouettes of the beakers and capsules
that contained our products.

A
scientist in his laboratory is not a mere technician: he is also a child
confronting natural phenomena that impress him as though they were fairy
tales.

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.

| Eve
Curie: |
My mother
was 37 years old when I was born.When I was big enough to know her,
she was already an aging woman who had reached the summit of renown.
And yet it is the 'celebrated scientist' who is strangest to me -
probably because the idea that she was a 'celebrated scientist' did
not occupy the mind of Marie Curie. It seems to me rather, that I
have always lived near the poor student haunted by dreams, who was
Maria Sklodowska long before I came into the world.
