The big mistake that men make is that when they turn thirteen or fourteen and all of a sudden they've reached puberty they believe that they like women. Actually you're just horny. It doesn't mean you like women any more at twenty-one than you did at ten.

It's hard to tell how far women's individuality has come in the past twenty years.

If men knew all that women think they would be twenty times more audacious.

It has become part of the accepted wisdom to say that the twentieth century was the century of physics and the twenty-first century will be the century of biology.

He who devotes sixteen hours a day to hard study may become at sixty as wise as he thought himself at twenty.

For one thing I teach my students what my teacher for twenty years Paul Gavert told me 'The voice follows... the voice follows everything about you... who you are.'

Golf is played by twenty million mature American men whose wives think they are out having fun.

I very much enjoyed my career in science. I didn't leave science because I was disillusioned but felt I'd done my bit for it after about twenty-five years.

Biology is now bigger than physics as measured by the size of budgets by the size of the workforce or by the output of major discoveries and biology is likely to remain the biggest part of science through the twenty-first century.

What I'd really like to write is a romantic comedy. This is my favorite kind of movie. I feel almost embarrassed revealing this because the genre has been so degraded in the past twenty years that saying you like romantic comedies is essentially an admission of mild stupidity.
