"If you thought you were trying to find out more about it because you're gonna get an answer to some deep philosophical question...you may be wrong! It may be that you can't get an answer to that particular question by finding out more about the character of nature. But my interest in science is to simply find out about the world."

"Science is what we have learned about how to keep from fooling ourselves."

"You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing -- that's what counts."

"I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something."

"I have no responsibility to live up to what others expect of me. That's their mistake, not my failing."
