James D. Watson
I am thrilled to see my genome.
James D. Watson

James D. Watson
One of the greatest gifts science has brought to the world is continuing elimination of the supernatural.
James D. Watson

James D. Watson

James D. Watson
Knowing why (an idea) is more important than learning what (the fact).
James D. Watson

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
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
A goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
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
