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.

It's necessary to be slightly underemployed if you are to do something significant.

Formula for breakthroughs… Take young researchers, put them together in virtual seclusion, give them an unprecedented degree of freedom and turn up the pressure…

Science seldom proceeds in the straightforward logical manner imagined by outsiders.

One could not be a successful scientist without realizing that, a goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
