More quotes by 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
(The National Cancer Program is) a bunch of (obscenity).
James D. Watson
If we don't play God, who will?
James D. Watson
Knowing why (an idea) is more important than learning what (the fact).
James D. Watson
Science has always been my preoccupation and when you think a breakthrough is possible, it is terribly exciting.
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
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
For all my life, America was the place to be. And we somehow continue to be the place where there are real opportunities to change the world for the better.
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
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
I never dreamed that in my lifetime my own genome would be sequenced.
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
A clone of Einstein wouldn't be stupid, but he wouldn't necessarily be any genius, either.
James D. Watson
One of the greatest gifts science has brought to the world is continuing elimination of the supernatural.
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
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
Biology has at least 50 more interesting years.
James D. Watson
I wish there would be more movies about scientists.
James D. Watson
If scientists don't play God, who will?
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
