It's no big thing, but you make big things out of little things sometimes.

I'm a big believer that science is part of a larger cultural thing. Science is not all by itself.

It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.

Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things.

I think becoming a scientist is the product of parents who gave me enormous opportunities to master nature.

In big science, the role of the individual scientist must be carefully preserved. So is the one of original ideas and of contributions.

Science is not a thing. It's a verb. It's a way of thinking about things. It's a way of looking for natural explanations for all phenomena.

I grew up thinking that a research scientist was a natural thing to be.

Being a scientist is a special privilege: for it brings the opportunity to be creative, the passionate quest for answers to nature's most precious secrets, and the warm friendships of many valued colleagues.

Science is about nothing but getting at the truth, and anything that gets in the way of that diminishes, in my experience, the science.
