"We’re not all equal, it’s simply not true. That isn’t science." ― James D. Watson Topic(s): Science More From James D. Watson "Take young researchers, put them together in virtual seclusion, give them an unprecedented degree of freedom and turn up the pressure by fostering competitiveness." "Science has always been my preoccupation and when you think a breakthrough is possible, it is terribly exciting." "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." More In Science "Science fiction has a way of letting you talk about where we are in the world and letting you be a bit of a pop philosopher without being didactic."― Brit Marling "I hesitate to predict whether this theory is true. But if the general opinion of Mankind is optimistic then we’re in for a period of extreme popularity for science fiction."― David Eddings "At a time when science plays such a powerful role in the life of society, when the destiny of the whole of mankind may hinge on the results of scientific research, it is incumbent on all scientists to be fully conscious of that role, and conduct themselves accordingly."― Joseph Rotblat
