Marie Curie Quotes

“On July 26, 1895, Marie and Pierre were married. It was a simple ceremony with no rings and no parties. Marie did buy a new suit for the wedding. It was black, so she could later wear it to the laboratory and not worry about stains. For a honeymoon, she and Pierre went on a bicycling trip.”
― Margaret Poynter, Marie Curie: Discoverer of Radium

“The only light came from a small hole in the roof and a flickering oil lamp. Many times she had just bread and tea for dinner and fruit for lunch. But she was happy. Here it was quiet.”
― Margaret Poynter, Marie Curie: Discoverer of Radium
