===Break from studying=== While recovering in the countryside, Marie Curie stopped all studying and intellectual pursuits, even giving up embroidery. It is not clear why, or if this was a result of [[cognitive dysfunction]] or [[concentration problems]] caused by her illness. She did not see this as negative, so so it may have been a choice rather than a sign of illness. {{cquote|text="I can't believe geometry or algebra ever existed. I have completely forgotten them," she writes,"... aside from an hour's French lesson with a little boy I don't do a thing, positively not a thing β for I have even abandoned the piece of embroidery that I had started... I have no schedule. I get up sometimes at ten o'clock, sometimes at four or five (morning, not evening!). I read no serious books, only harmless and absurd little novels... <br>Thus, in spite of the diploma conferring on me the dignity and maturity of a person who has finished her studies, I feel incredibly stupid. Sometimes I laugh all by myself, and I contemplate my state of total stupidity with genuine satisfaction."<ref name="A-Life"/> | author = Susan Quinn|source=Marie Curie: A Life | date = 2009}}
