More quotes by 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
Do things as soon as you can. If a decision needs to be made, make it. It gives you more time to change your mind.
James D. Watson
Moving forward will not be for the faint of heart. But if the next century witnesses failure, let it be because our science is not yet up to the job, not because we don't have the courage to make less random the sometimes most unfair courses of human evolution.
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
Already for thirty-five years he had not stopped talking and almost nothing of fundamental value had emerged.
James D. Watson
My heroes were never scientists. They were Graham Greene and Christopher Isherwood, you know, good writers.
James D. Watson
No good model ever accounted for all the facts, since some data was bound to be misleading if not plain wrong.
James D. Watson
If scientists don't play God, who will?
James D. Watson
I don't think we are here for anything. We're just products of evolution. You can say, Gee, your life must be pretty bleak if you don't think there's a purpose. But I'm anticipating a good lunch.
James D. Watson
Biology has at least 50 more interesting years.
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
Ever since we achieved a breakthrough in the area of recombinant DNA in 1973, left-wing nuts and environmental kooks have been screaming that we will create some kind of Frankenstein bug or Andromeda Strain that will destroy us all.
James D. Watson
Science moves with the spirit of an adventure characterized both by youthful arrogance and by the belief that the truth, once found, would be simple as well as pretty.
James D. Watson
As an educator, I have always striven to see that the fruits of the American Dream are available to all.
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 never dreamed that in my lifetime my own genome would be sequenced.
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
There are many people of color who are very talented.
James D. Watson
I wish there would be more movies about scientists.
James D. Watson
The ever quickening advances of science made possible by the success of the Human Genome Project will also soon let us see the essences of mental disease. Only after we understand them at the genetic level can we rationally seek out appropriate therapies for such illnesses as schizophrenia and bipolar disease.
James D. Watson
