More quotes by James D. Watson
Knowing why (an idea) is more important than learning what (the fact).
James D. Watson
If scientists don't play God, who will?
James D. Watson

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
No good model ever accounted for all the facts, since some data was bound to be misleading if not plain wrong.
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

James D. Watson

James D. Watson
(The National Cancer Program is) a bunch of (obscenity).
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
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
I wanted to see if I could write a good book.
James D. Watson
Biology has at least 50 more interesting years.
James D. Watson
I wish there would be more movies about scientists.
James D. Watson
