“To me, love has always meant friendship.”
“I was not a born actress. No one knows it better than I. If I had any latent talent, I would have had to work hard, listen carefully, do things over and over and then over again in order to bring it out.”
“Men like me because I don't wear a brassiere. Women like me because I don't look like a girl who would steal a husband. At least not for long.”

Despite her short career, she was one of the biggest box office draws of her time and was the first actress to be called “The Blonde Bombshell.”
Jean Harlow was Hollywood’s original “Blonde Bombshell,” becoming a major star in the 1930s with films like Platinum Blonde and Dinner at Eight.
She was known for her sultry screen presence and signature platinum blonde hair, which helped define the glamorous look of the era.
Tragically, she passed away at just 26 years old in 1937 due to kidney failure, leaving behind an enduring legacy in classic Hollywood.

“By the help of microscopes, there is nothing so small, as to escape our inquiry; hence there is a new visible world discovered to the understanding.”
“What Des-Cartes did was a good piece of work for his time. Descartes first eliminates the intelligence from matter, makes the latter passive, and assumes God as the intelligence that moves matter. What I have done is to show that Nature, the blind force of Nature, is the power that moves the whole machine.”

Hooke and Isaac Newton had a notable dispute over the inverse square law of gravitation.
Hooke is credited with coining the term “cell” for the microscopic structures he observed in cork, his understanding of cells was limited compared to later developments in cell theory.
Hooke was a polymath with interests and expertise in various fields, including physics, astronomy, biology, architecture, and more. His versatility made him a key figure in the scientific community of his time
