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

James D. Watson
My heroes were never scientists. They were Graham Greene and Christopher Isherwood, you know, good writers.
James D. Watson
We're not all equal, it's simply not true. That isn't science.
James D. Watson
There are many people of color who are very talented.
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
I am thrilled to see my genome.
James D. Watson
People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty. I think it would be great.
James D. Watson
