Science Quotes by Goodman Ace (1 quote)
You know, my father died of cancer when I was a teenager. He had it before it became popular.
— Goodman Ace
Quoted in Mark Singer, 'Goodman Ace: Words Fool Me', The New Yorker (1977). In Mr. Personality:Profiles and Talk Pieces from The New Yorker (1989), 188.
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
(1987) --
