James D. Watson
The luckiest thing that ever happened to me was that my father didn't believe in God, and so he had no hang-ups about souls.
James D. Watson
A clone of Einstein wouldn't be stupid, but he wouldn't necessarily be any genius, either.
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
I am thrilled to see my genome.
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
I wish there would be more movies about scientists.
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
People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty. I think it would be great.
James D. Watson
Knowing why (an idea) is more important than learning what (the fact).
James D. Watson
