Linus Pauling: The course that I follow is one apparently designed to keep me from being involved
in highly competitive activities. If I'm working on a problem and make some contribution
to it and then other people begin working on the same problem, I usually move on to
something else. For example, the hereditary hemolytic anemias. And I stopped work
in the field as soon as a good number of other people had begun work in the field
because I thought whatever discoveries there are to be made will be made by other
people and they can do it. Why don't I look around for something to do that other
people aren't working on?
