The only way to get a good idea is to get a lot of ideas and throw the bad ones away.

I believe that there is no such thing as an 'unimportant' discovery.

You can't have a good idea unless you have a lot of ideas.

Science is the search for truth, but it is not the search for certainty. When science is used to search for certainty, it becomes something other than science.

I have never had a bad idea.

I think that the vitamin C story is a very important story, and it's a story that has not yet been told in its entirety.

I have been interested in vitamins for a long time, and I have taken large doses of vitamin C for many years.

The human body can make a number of substances, but it cannot make vitamin C.

I am not a quack. I am a scientist.

Orthomolecular medicine is the preservation of good health and the treatment of disease by varying the concentrations of substances normally present in the body.

I believe that the proper dose of vitamin C is 10 grams per day, and that it should be taken in divided doses throughout the day.

The greatest discoveries are often made by individuals who are not afraid to challenge the existing paradigms.

I am convinced that we can abolish war, and that we must do so if we are to survive.

Every time you go to the doctor, the doctor asks you to take off your clothes, and then he looks at you, and he tells you what's wrong with you. But he doesn't know anything about you.

I have had a good life, and I am grateful for it. I have done my best to make the world a better place.

There is no such thing as a 'safe' dose of radiation.

I am a scientist, and I believe in the scientific method. But I also believe that there are things that science cannot explain.

I think that the future of medicine is in prevention, not in treatment.

I don't think there's anything wrong with taking a lot of vitamin C.

I have never been afraid to be wrong.
