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
A goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
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
No good model ever accounted for all the facts, since some data was bound to be misleading if not plain wrong.

James D. Watson
If we don't play God, who will?
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
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
Some think there is something wrong about enhancing people.
James D. Watson
