Gertrude B. Elion : (2) " Over the years, my work became both my vocation and avocation. Since I enjoyed it so much, I never felt a great need to go outside for relaxation. Nevertheless, I became an avid photographer and traveler. Possibly my love for travel stems from the early years when my family seldom went away on vacation. " - Gertrude B. Elion " I loved to learn everything, everything in sight, and I was never satisfied that I knew everything there was to know in each of my courses. " - Gertrude B. Elion
