You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful.

  • -- Marie Curie 居里夫人

如果不改进个人,就不可能建设一个更美好的世界。为此目的,我们每个人都必须为自己的进步而努力,同时对全人类负有共同的责任,我们的特别责任是帮助我们认为最有用的人。
