One day when a writer for a newspaper tried to ask Marie about herself and her thoughts and her beliefs, she answered him, “ In science we must be interested in things, not in persons.” Much of the real character and spirit of this unusual woman is found in these few words, which she was later often to repeat. One evening, at a big party, a friend asked her if she would like to meet the King of Greece, who was also a guest.
