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.

More quotes by James D. Watson
One of the greatest gifts science has brought to the world is continuing elimination of the supernatural.
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
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
Knowing why (an idea) is more important than learning what (the fact).
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 wish there would be more movies about scientists.
James D. Watson
(The National Cancer Program is) a bunch of (obscenity).
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
As an educator, I have always striven to see that the fruits of the American Dream are available to all.
James D. Watson
I have a son, who is a... not an ordinary form of schizophrenia, but clearly, cannot take care of himself. And the great fear of then, of all parents is, when the parents die, who takes care of your child? And the answer is: they become homeless.
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
People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty. I think it would be great.
James D. Watson
A goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
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
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
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
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
