More quotes by James D. Watson
We're not all equal, it's simply not true. That isn't science.
James D. Watson
A clone of Einstein wouldn't be stupid, but he wouldn't necessarily be any genius, either.
James D. Watson
A goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
James D. Watson
I wanted to see if I could write a good book.
James D. Watson
If scientists don't play God, who will?
James D. Watson
No one may have the guts to say this, but if we could make better human beings by knowing how to add genes, why shouldn't we?
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
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
I wish there would be more movies about scientists.
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
The luckiest thing that ever happened to me was that my father didn't believe in God, and so he had no hang-ups about souls.
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
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
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 never dreamed that in my lifetime my own genome would be sequenced.
James D. Watson
Take young researchers, put them together in virtual seclusion, give them an unprecedented degree of freedom and turn up the pressure by fostering competitiveness.
James D. Watson
The brain, is the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe.
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
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
