अज्ञात की तलाश में निकलना हमेशा से मुझे रोमांचक लगता है। यह जानने की इच्छा आपके जीवन का एक हिस्सा बन जाती है।

Going after the unknown is always fascinating, I think. It becomes part of your life, this desire to know.

मेरा मानना है कि विज्ञान को वैज्ञानिकों के भरोसे ही छोड़ देना चाहिए, विज्ञान के कोई प्रबंधक या निदेशक नहीं हो सकते। यह काम उन लोगों द्वारा किया जाना चाहिए जिनके पास विचार हों, अवधारणाएं हों, जो अपने दिल की गहराई से यह महसूस करते हों कि उन्हें आगे बढ़कर किसी खास विचार या सिद्धांत पर काम करना है जो उनके मन में आया है।

I believe that science is best left to scientists, that you cannot have managers or directors of science, it's got to be carried out and done by people with ideas, people with concepts, people who feel in their bones that they want to go ahead and develop this, that, or the other concept which occurs to them.

मैं, जो बिजली पैदा करने के लिए परमाणु ऊर्जा के पक्ष में था... मुझे अचानक यह अहसास हुआ कि जिस किसी के पास भी परमाणु रिएक्टर है, वह उससे प्लूटोनियम निकालकर परमाणु हथियार बना सकता है। यानी जिस देश के पास भी परमाणु रिएक्टर है, वह जब चाहे तब परमाणु हथियारों की ताकत हासिल कर सकता है। और मैं, शुरुआत से ही परमाणु हथियारों के वजूद को लेकर बेहद चिंतित रहा हूँ और उनके इस्तेमाल के पूरी तरह खिलाफ रहा हूँ।

I, who had been in favour of nuclear energy for generating electricity ... I suddenly realised that anybody who has a nuclear reactor can extract the plutonium from the reactor and make nuclear weapons, so that a country which has a nuclear reactor can, at any moment that it wants to, become a nuclear weapons power. And I, right from the beginning, have been terribly worried by the existence of nuclear weapons and very much against their use.
