Marie Curie is an interesting figure, but quotes from her are quite hard to find. I've managed to find a few though:
I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
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.
I 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 am one of those who think like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries.
After all, science is essentially international, and it is only through lack of the historical sense that national qualities have been attributed to it.
