James D. Watson
If we don't play God, who will?
James D. Watson
Already for thirty-five years he had not stopped talking and almost nothing of fundamental value had emerged.
James D. Watson
The biggest advantage to believing in God is you don't have to understand anything, no physics, no biology. I wanted to understand.

James D. Watson
Take young researchers, put them together in virtual seclusion, give them an unprecedented degree of freedom and turn up the pressure by fostering competitiveness.
James D. Watson
For all my life, America was the place to be. And we somehow continue to be the place where there are real opportunities to change the world for the better.
James D. Watson
I am thrilled to see my genome.
James D. Watson
Polls consistently show that the majority of Americans favour research using embryonic stem cells and yet politicians continue to pander to the outspoken religious minority that is hampering efforts to develop this potentially valuable technology.
James D. Watson
(The National Cancer Program is) a bunch of (obscenity).
James D. Watson
There are many people of color who are very talented.
James D. Watson
My heroes were never scientists. They were Graham Greene and Christopher Isherwood, you know, good writers.
James D. Watson
I think the reason people are dealing with science less well now than 50 years ago is that it has become so complicated.
James D. Watson
The brain, is the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe.
James D. Watson
I wish there would be more movies about scientists.
James D. Watson
If I had been married earlier in life, I wouldn't have seen the double helix. I would have been taking care of the kids on Saturday. On the other hand, I was lonely a lot of the time.
James D. Watson
