Just One Living Cell In The Human

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.

Science Is The Search For The Truth--it Is Not A Game In Which One Tries To Beat His Opponent, To Do Harm To Others. We Need To Have The Spirit Of Science In International Affairs, To Make The Conduct Of International Affairs The Effort To Find The Right Solution, The Just Solution Of International Problems, And Not An Effort By Each Nation To Get The Better Of Other Nations, To Do Harm To Them When It Is Possible. I Believe In Morality, In Justice, In Humanitarianism.

The Mccarthy Period Came Along...and Many Of The Other Scientists Who Had Been Working On These Same Lines Gave Up. Probably Saying "why Should I Sacrifice Myself? I Am A Scientist, I Am Supposed To Be Working On Scientific Things, So I Don't Need To Put Myself At Risk By Talking About These Possibilities." And I Have Said That Perhaps I'm Just Stubborn... I Have Said "i Don't Like Anybody To Tell Me What To Do Or To Think, Except Mrs. Pauling."

[david Harker Asked: Dr Pauling, How Do You Have So Many Good Ideas?] Well David, I Have A Lot Of Ideas And Throw Away The Bad Ones.

Life Is A Relationship Among Molecules And Not A Property Of Any Molecule.
