"A scientist may not be sure of the answer, but he's often sure he can find one. And that's a condition which is clearly not enjoyed by philosophy."
"The way to get things done is not to mind who gets the credit for doing them."
"The organism is at the mercy of its environment."
"I did not direct my life. I didn't design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That's what life is."
