Welcome to my virtual island!
"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. We should not allow it to be believed that all scientific progresses can be reduced to mechanism...Neither do I believe that the spirit of adventure runs any risk of disappearing in our world. If I see anything vital around me, it is precisely that spirit of adventure, which seems indestructible."(Marie Curie)
from my favourite book of Barbara Goldsmith
"Obsessive Genius. The inner world of Marie Curie"
I believe that scientists are DREAMERS, for whom the unselfish following of a purpose is so imperative that it becames impossible for them to devote an important part of their attention to material interest. I believe that scientists are RATIONAL OPTIMISTS, who make the best of their work for the sake of their own interests.
