Peter Medawar: Frasi in inglese

“I do not propose to criticize the fatuous argument I have just outlined; here, to expound is to expose.”

1960s, Review of Teilhard de Chardin's "The Phenomenon of Man", 1961

“But Watson had one towering advantage over all of them: in addition to being extremely clever he had something important to be clever about.”

This is an advantage which scientists enjoy over most other people engaged in intellectual pursuits, and they enjoy it at all levels of capability. To be a first-rate scientist it is not necessary (and certainly not sufficient) to be extremely clever, anyhow in a pyrotechnic sense. One of the great social revolutions brought about by scientific research has been the democratization of learning. Anyone who combines strong common sense with an ordinary degree of imaginativeness can become a creative scientist, and a happy one besides, in so far as happiness depends upon being able to develop to the limit of one's abilities.
1960s, Lucky Jim, 1968

“No virus is known to do good: it has been well said that a virus is "a piece of bad news wrapped up in protein."”

(with Jean Medawar) Aristotle to Zoos: A Philosophical Dictionary of Biology, 1983, p. 275.
1980s
