More quotes by James D. Watson
(The National Cancer Program is) a bunch of (obscenity).
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
I am thrilled to see my genome.
James D. Watson
I never dreamed that in my lifetime my own genome would be sequenced.
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
One of the greatest gifts science has brought to the world is continuing elimination of the supernatural.
James D. Watson
I wish there would be more movies about scientists.
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
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
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
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
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
Some think there is something wrong about enhancing people.
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
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
A goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
James D. Watson
People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty. I think it would be great.
James D. Watson
My heroes were never scientists. They were Graham Greene and Christopher Isherwood, you know, good writers.
James D. Watson
As an educator, I have always striven to see that the fruits of the American Dream are available to all.
James D. Watson
There are many people of color who are very talented.
James D. Watson
