More quotes by James D. Watson
My heroes were never scientists. They were Graham Greene and Christopher Isherwood, you know, good writers.
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
I have a son, who is a... not an ordinary form of schizophrenia, but clearly, cannot take care of himself. And the great fear of then, of all parents is, when the parents die, who takes care of your child? And the answer is: they become homeless.
James D. Watson
One of the greatest gifts science has brought to the world is continuing elimination of the supernatural.
James D. Watson
People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty. I think it would be great.
James D. Watson
A goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
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
As an educator, I have always striven to see that the fruits of the American Dream are available to all.
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
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
I turned against the left wing because they don't like genetics, because genetics implies that sometimes in life we fail because we have bad genes. They want all failure in life to be due to the evil system.
James D. Watson
If we don't play God, who will?
James D. Watson
The brain, is the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe.
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
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
There are many people of color who are very talented.
James D. Watson
Biology has at least 50 more interesting years.
James D. Watson
One could not be a successful scientist without realizing that, in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers and mothers of scientists, a goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
James D. Watson
If scientists don't play God, who will?
James D. Watson
I am thrilled to see my genome.
James D. Watson
