It was like a new world ...

It was like a new world opened to me, the world of science, which I was at last permitted to know in all liberty.

I know but one freedom and that is the freedom of the mind.
 Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err.
The amount of happiness that you have depends on the amount of freedom you have in your heart.

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.

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
 Marie Curie
Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.

When one studies strongly radioactive substances special precautions must be taken if one wishes to be able to take delicate measurements. The various objects used in a chemical laboratory and those used in a chemical laboratory, and those which serve for experiments in physics, become radioactive in a short time and act upon photographic plates through black paper. Dust, the air of the room, and one's clothes all become radioactive.
 Marie Curie
Sometimes my courage fails me and I think I ought to stop working, live in the country and devote myself to gardening. But I am held by a thousand bonds, and I don't know when I shall be able to arrange things otherwise. Nor do I know whether, even by writing scientific books, I could live without the laboratory.
