If you wanted to dissect the structure of living cells, genetic analysis was an extremely powerful method, so my interest turned to that.

I don't believe anybody can really grasp everything that's even in one textbook.

I did get a very fine education, and not just in science. It took some pressure on the part of my elders to convince me that I really should take an interest in humanities.

The central moral issue of science is that we do not have a science of peace and hardly know where to begin in building one.

I have many shortcomings. I feel very lucky to have been able to have what I've had.

I wish I had a talent for dropping things as well as taking on new ones. It gets to be quite a clutter after a while.

I believe I am a person with unusual talents. I think I'd be a liar or stupid if I were to deny that.
