Ojalá aquí encuentres las palabras exactas para aprender a quererte y a querer a los demás. Me da miedo que entres en estas hojas, pero sí lo haces sé que serás valiente. He vomitado todo lo que tengo dentro y que guardaba bajo llave, he recordado a las personas que están, las que se fueron y las que algún día llegarán, a quien me rompió el corazón y yo se lo rompí... He hecho honor a la vida, al amor propio, al querer y poder...por eso, espero que cuando leas la última letra sólo quieras volver leer y a empezar. Que nada es imposible, que quererse es de valientes

Born in Warsaw, Poland, on November 7, 1867, Marie Curie was forbidden to attend the male-only University of Warsaw, so she enrolled at the Sorbonne in Paris to study physics and mathematics. There she met a professor named Pierre Curie, and the two soon married, forming one of the most famous scientific partnerships in history. Together they discovered two elements and won a Nobel Prize in 1903. (Later Marie won another Nobel award for chemistry in 1911.) She died in Savoy, France, on July 4, 1934, a victim of many years of exposure to toxic radiation.
