So many of the things I've predicted were technologies that were just sitting right in front of us.

To have the recognition of your colleagues is great. The public attention is a mixed blessing.

I think we have to believe we are here for some purpose, and I know there are many cynics who will deny it, but they don't live as if they deny it.

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

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.

All of civility depends on being able to contain the rage of individuals.

I hope I've lived a life of science whose style will encourage younger people.
