• A la vista de las ponencias de este simposio, puede decirse que la elucidación del código genético es, en efecto, un gran logro. Es, en cierto sentido, la clave de la biología molecular, porque muestra cómo los grandes lenguajes poliméricos, el del ácido nucleico y el de las proteínas, están relacionados entre sí.

• To produce a really good biological theory one must try to see through the clutter produced by evolution to the basic mechanisms lying beneath them, realizing that they are likely to be overlaid by other, secondary mechanisms. What seems to physicists to be a hopelessly complicated process may have been what nature found simplest, because nature could only build on what was already there.

  "What Mad Pursuit". Book by Francis Crick, 1988.

• The major credit I think Jim and I deserve ... is for selecting the right problem and sticking to it. It's true that by blundering about we stumbled on gold, but the fact remains that we were looking for gold. Both of us had decided, quite independently of each other, that the central problem in molecular biology was the chemical structure of the gene. ... We could not see what the answer was, but we considered it so important that we were determined to think about it long and hard, from any relevant point of view.
