Erwin Chargaff Quotes

Life is the continuing intervention of the inexplicable Picture Quote #1

Science is wonderfully equipped to answer the question ‘How?’ but it gets terribly confused when you ask the question ‘Why?’ Picture Quote #1

There are no such men today. We have created a mechanism that makes it practically impossible for a real genius to appear. In my own field the biochemist Fritz Lipmann or the much maligned Linus Pauling were very talented people. But generally, geniuses everywhere seem to have died out by 1914. Today, most are mediocrities blown up by the winds of the time Picture Quote #1

Molecular biology is essentially the practice of biochemistry without a license Picture Quote #1

You can stop splitting the atom; you can stop visiting the moon; you can stop using aerosols; you may even decide not to kill entire populations by the use of a few bombs. But you cannot recall a new form of life Picture Quote #1

One of the most insidious and nefarious properties of scientific models is their tendency to take over, and sometimes supplant, reality Picture Quote #1

Scientific fashions last longer than women’s fashions but not as long as men’s Picture Quote #1

If you can modify a cell, it’s only a short step to modifying a mouse, and if you can modify a mouse, it’s only a step to modifying a higher animal, even man Picture Quote #1

If at one time or another I have brushed a few colleagues the wrong way, I must apologize: I had not realized that they were covered with fur Picture Quote #1

We do not know what life is, and yet we manipulate it as if it were an inorganic salt solution Picture Quote #1
