Marie Curie Quotes

Posted on by

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.

After all, science is essentially international, and it is only through lack of the historical sense that national qualities have been attributed to it.

All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.

Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.

I am one of those who think like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries.

Marie Curie QuotesI have frequently been questioned, especially by women, of how I could reconcile family life with a scientific career. Well, it has not been easy.

I have no dress except the one I wear every day. If you are going to be kind enough to give me one, please let it be practical and dark so that I can put it on afterwards to go to the laboratory.

I was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy.

In science, we must be interested in things, not in persons.

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.

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

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

There are sadistic scientists who hurry to hunt down errors instead of establishing the truth.

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”
