James D. Watson
There are many people of color who are very talented.
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
My heroes were never scientists. They were Graham Greene and Christopher Isherwood, you know, good writers.
James D. Watson
The brain, is the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe.
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

James D. Watson

James D. Watson
The ever quickening advances of science made possible by the success of the Human Genome Project will also soon let us see the essences of mental disease. 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
Science has always been my preoccupation and when you think a breakthrough is possible, it is terribly exciting.
James D. Watson
People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty. I think it would be great.
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
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
Do things as soon as you can. If a decision needs to be made, make it. It gives you more time to change your mind.
James D. Watson
If scientists don't play God, who will?
James D. Watson
I am thrilled to see my genome.
