The art of science is as important as so-called technical science. You need both. It's this combination that must be recognized and acknowledged and valued.

I do what I feel impelled to do, as an artist would. Scientists function in the same way. I see all these as creative activities, as all part of the process of discovery. Perhaps that's one of the characteristics of what I call the evolvers, any subset of the population who keep things moving in a positive, creative, constructive way, revealing the truth and beauty that exists in life and in nature.

The worst tragedy that could have befallen me was my success. I knew right away that I was through - cast out.
