So damn true

What an amazing woman, and a personal heroine for me. She's part of what made me fall in love with radiation and want to study it. 💗

"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".

"Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained".

"I am one of those who think like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries".

"If I had not been taught chemical analysis by prof. Milicer and dr. Kossakowski in Warsaw, I would not have isolated radium".

"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".

"Humanity also needs dreamers, for whom the disinterested development of an enterprise is so captivating that it becomes impossible for them to devote their care to their own material profit".

"You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful".

"I was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy".

— Maria Skłodowska Curie

I wish more than anything else, that I could believe in magic.

I want to wake up, and know that there are tree spirits in the forests. I want to go hike across the countryside and see a fairy circle, and think "that means something." I want to see a rabbit and truly believe it can hear and understand me. I want the northern lights to have some meaning, to be the spirits dancing across the sky, instead of just sun spots.

If this was a deck I could buy I would.

rococo themed tarot cards. these drove me insane :-)

The new art looks sick.
