• Descubrí que lo que la mayoría de la gente llama espeluznante, aterrador y espeluznante, yo lo llamo cómodo, acogedor y hogareño.

• El hombre práctico es el aventurero, el investigador, el creyente en la investigación, el que hace preguntas, el hombre que se niega a creer que se ha alcanzado la perfección.... No hay emoción ni alegría en limitarse a hacer lo que cualquiera puede hacer.... Siempre es seguro suponer, no que la forma antigua es errónea, sino que puede haber una forma mejor.

• Mis confesiones son desvergonzadas. Me confieso, pero no me arrepiento. El hecho es que mis confesiones no están motivadas por razones éticas, sino intelectuales. Las confesiones son para mí los interesantes registros de un autoinvestigador.

• We must remain, in a word, in an intellectual disposition which seems paradoxical, but which, in my opinion, represents the true mind of the investigator. We must have a robust faith and yet not believe.

• [In the case of research director, Willis R. Whitney, whose style was to give talented investigators as much freedom as possible, you may define "serendipity" as] the art of profiting from unexpected occurrences. When you do things in that way you get unexpected results. Then you do something else and you get unexpected results in another line, and you do that on a third line and then all of a sudden you see that one of these lines has something to do with the other. Then you make a discovery that you never could have made by going on a direct road.

• Pero, al mismo tiempo, nunca debe haber la menor vacilación en abandonar una posición en el momento en que se demuestra que es insostenible. No es exagerado decir que la grandeza de un investigador científico no reside en el hecho de no haberse equivocado nunca, sino más bien en su disposición a admitir que lo ha hecho, siempre que las pruebas en contrario sean suficientemente contundentes.

  William Bayliss

• El tiempo... es un requisito esencial para una investigación eficaz. Un investigador puede tener un palacio para vivir, un laboratorio perfecto para trabajar, puede estar rodeado de todas las comodidades que el dinero puede proporcionarle; pero si se le quita el tiempo, seguirá siendo estéril.

• El gran principio experimental, pues, es la duda, esa duda filosófica que deja a la mente su libertad e iniciativa, y de la que se derivan las virtudes más valiosas para los investigadores en fisiología y medicina.

• During the time that [Karl] Landsteiner gave me an education in the field of imununology, I discovered that he and I were thinking about the serologic problem in very different ways. He would ask, What do these experiments force us to believe about the nature of the world? I would ask, What is the most. simple and general picture of the world that we can formulate that is not ruled by these experiments? I realized that medical and biological investigators were not attacking their problems the same way that theoretical physicists do, the way I had been in the habit of doing.

• When an investigator has developed a formula which gives a complete representation of the phenomena within a certain range, he may be prone to satisfaction. Would it not be wiser if he should say 'Foiled again! I can find out no more about Nature along this line.'

• The world little knows how many of the thoughts and theories which have passed through the mind of a scientific investigator, have been crushed in silence and secrecy by his own severe criticism and adverse examination!

• Science even more than the Gospel teaches us humility. She cannot look down on anything, she does not know what superiority means, she despises nothing, never lies for the sake of a pose, and conceals nothing out of coquetry. She stops before the facts as an investigator, sometimes as a physician, never as an executioner, and still less with hostility and irony.

• Discovery should come as an adventure rather than as the result of a logical process of thought. Sharp, prolonged thinking is necessary that we may keep on the chosen road but it does not itself necessarily lead to discovery. The investigator must be ready and on the spot when the light comes from whatever direction.

  Theobald Smith

• As soon as we touch the complex processes that go on in a living thing, be it plant or animal, we are at once forced to use the methods of this science [chemistry]. No longer will the microscope, the kymograph, the scalpel avail for the complete solution of the problem. For the further analysis of these phenomena which are in flux and flow, the investigator must associate himself with those who have labored in fields where molecules and atoms, rather than multicellular tissues or even unicellular organisms, are the units of study.

• It's rather naive, apart from being ethically objectionable, to assume that our investigators travel around the country with bags of money trying to bribe witnesses to lie on the witness stand. We just don't operate that way.

• Mi orientadora del instituto, la señora Inverholl, me hizo una vez hacer un test de aptitudes para averiguar mi futuro. La recomendación número uno para mi conjunto de aptitudes era la de investigador de accidentes de tráfico aéreo, de los que hay menos de cincuenta en el mundo. El segundo puesto era el de conservador de un museo de estudios chino-americanos. El tercer puesto era el de payaso de circo.

• Most investigators don't even know what the word means. You stop the cops from using informants and the only crimes they'd ever solve would be those by deranged postal workers who come to work once too often.

• Soy un investigador privado con licencia y lo he sido durante bastante tiempo. Soy un lobo solitario, soltero, entrando en la mediana edad y no rico. He estado en la cárcel más de una vez y no me dedico a los divorcios. Me gusta el licor y las mujeres y el ajedrez y algunas cosas más. No caigo muy bien a los polis, pero conozco a un par con los que me llevo bien. Soy un hijo nativo, nacido en Santa Rosa, ambos padres muertos, sin hermanos ni hermanas, y cuando me maten en un callejón oscuro alguna vez, si sucede, como podría sucederle a cualquiera en mi negocio, nadie sentirá que ha tocado fondo en su vida.

• Y junto con la indiferencia hacia el espacio, había una indiferencia aún más completa hacia el tiempo. "Parece que hay mucho", era todo lo que respondía cuando el investigador me pedía que dijera qué sentía por el tiempo. Mucho, pero exactamente cuánto era totalmente irrelevante. Por supuesto, podría haber mirado el reloj, pero sabía que mi reloj estaba en otro universo. Mi experiencia real había sido, y seguía siendo, de duración indefinida. O, alternativamente, de un presente perpetuo compuesto por un apocalipsis en continuo cambio.

• You’re the most experienced investigator I’ve got who’s not tied up in something, and I can’t ask the Consort to look look into it, because A) she and Curran are working on something else and B) when the Consort gets involved, half of the world blows up.

• The trouble is that all the investigators proceeded in exactly the same spirit, the spirit that is of scientific curiosity, and with no possibility of telling whether the issue of their work would prove them to be fiends, or dreamers, or angels.
