Obituary: Gene Hackman, Oscar-winning star of 'Superman' and 'Unforgiven,' dies at 95
"You go through stages in your career that you feel very good about yourself. Then you feel awful, like, 'Why didn't I choose something else?'" Hackman reflected to GQ magazine in 2011, seven years after his retirement from acting. "But overall I'm pretty satisfied that I made the right choice when I decided to be an actor. I was lucky to find a few things that I could do well as an actor and that I could look at and say, 'Yeah, that's all right.'"

Genetic Design in 7 Experiments
But we’ll first have to study biology as an intricate whole, and understand how our own designs fit into the context of lifeforms that have evolved, without us, over billions of years. Time will tell.

Paris Review - The Art of Fiction No. 196, Kazuo Ishiguro
All you’ve discovered is that the search is difficult, and you still have a duty to keep on searching.
This might seem destructive, but the idea is that the nature of what is good is elusive.
But there is no Socrates figure. They are their own Socrates.

Living in London with a little garden and knowing lots of people who want to grow but don’t have outdoor space I’m always thinking of ways that everyone can get growing something to eat. You don’t have to be self sufficient for growing food to be worth it. The fun in the project, the process, the learning and the harvest can be achieved in the smallest spaces.

As Byung-ho Chan points out, the multitasker returns to an animal state: it's animals who have to remain in this state of watchfulness and vigilance, who cannot really commit to a single task, but are always in the pluralized state of having to survive. Animals do not become calligraphers, or mathematicians, or poets. They remain animals.
I find that there's something very wrong with people who ignore or suppress or have cut out their drives. And something very wrong with people who will never be reasonable or apply reason and give reason charge to their instincts or over their instincts.

Edwin Cohn and the Harvard Blood Factory
Cohn never missed an opportunity to recruit talented scientists, often going out of his way to poach people who were “between” research roles. He also had a stunning ability to look ahead and anticipate what sorts of talent his field would need to grow.
Cohn was a powerful institutional figure who possessed what was apparently direct line reporting to the President of Harvard, James Conant, who was a chemist. Given this rare privilege, Cohn seemed always able to garner the generous funding that ensured progress would never be hampered by traditional academic bureaucracy.
