I have never seen Francis Crick in a modest mood. Perhaps in other company he is that way, but I have never had reason so to judge him.

My wife and I have a schizophrenic son. We didn't want to accept this for 30 years, so we put him under great pressure when we shouldn't have. He just wanted to be looked after, and we didn't respect that. We tried to make him independent.

I think the reason people are dealing with science less well now than 50 years ago is that it has become so complicated.

He who obeys God's laws finds him a father. He who disobeys them, finds him a judge.

A clone of Einstein wouldn't be stupid, but he wouldn't necessarily be any genius, either.
