Lovely Science Quote

[ladymercury_10]

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. We should not allow it to be believed that all scientific progress can be reduced to mechanisms, machines, gearings, even though such machinery also has its beauty.

Neither do I believe that the spirit of adventure runs any risk of disappearing in our world. If I see anything vital around me, it is precisely that spirit of adventure, which seems indestructible and is akin to curiosity.

-Marie Curie


I love Marie Curie so much.  Her whole Wikiquote page is fantastic.

Marie Curie was awesome. My favorite author, Anne Michaels, wrote a beautiful poem about her, called Second Search, and I wanted to find a link to give you, because if you admire her I think you'd really like this poem, but I can't find it anywhere.

That sounds amazing. I will definitely look for this poem. Thanks for the tip! :D
