1. Seán O'Casey:

   Disease an never be conquered, can never be quelled by emotion's willful screaming or faith's symbolic prayer. It can only be conquered by the energy of humanity and the cunning in the mind of man. In the patience of a Curie, in the enlightenment of a Faraday, a Rutherford, a Pasteur, a Nightingale, and all other apostles of light and cleanliness, rather than of a woebegone godliness, we shall find final deliverance from plague, pestilence, and famine.

2. Fabiola Gianotti:

   She (Curie) had a domestic way of doing physics, she had a lab in her house. She could prepare dinner in her kitchen, then move into her lab. She could have a normal life. Really amazing.
