Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves.

If I see anything vital around me, it is precisely that spirit of adventure, which seems indestructible and is akin to curiosity.

The death of my husband, coming immediately after the general knowledge of the discoveries with which his name is associated, was felt by the public, and especially by the scientific circles, to be a national misfortune.

In 1903, I finished my doctor's thesis and obtained the degree. At the end of the same year, the Nobel prize was awarded jointly to Becquerel, my husband and me for the discovery of radioactivity and new radioactive elements.

Due to the injuries that I will have for the rest of my life, it is physically impossible for me to consider any career in wrestling.

Eventually I'd like to have a family. I'd like to not be limping around when I'm 50 years old.

I think it's a good trade to have to be versatile, to be adaptable, and be dependable, and that's one of the things that has enabled me to have the long career that I've had. It's definitely not because I'm good looking!

I think marriage and family keeps being written about because that's where we keep our reputations with ourselves - I mean, we can't quite slip the truths we reveal about ourselves at home.
