James D. Watson

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

James D. Watson
People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty. I think it would be great.
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
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
