~ Madame Curie
Madame Curie was the first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize (Physics, 1903) and the first person to win two when she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1911. The photograph is an official portrait made on the occasion of that second Prize.
I ran across a reference to this quote in a comment a friend posted on another blog. It speaks volumes.

Wow!
This is one of my favorite quotes, which I learned when I did a paper about Marie Curie in high school. I have quoted this throughout my life. I am glad to find someone else who knows it.
A very power statement.
