And so, for our future Bio Geeks In Wuv page, I present:

Quotes

Yet the Watson and Crick story is also one of sublime harmony, an example, as a colleague put it, of "that marvelous resonance between two minds--that high state in which 1 plus 1 does not equal 2 but more like 10."
(From TIME 100: Scientists and Thinkers)

The men were in some ways an odd pair. The British Crick, at 35, still had no Ph.D. The American Watson, 12 years Crick's junior, had graduated from the University of Chicago at 19 and nabbed his doctorate at 22. But they shared a certain wanderlust, an indifference to boundaries.
(From TIME 100: Scientists and Thinkers)

But whatever their aims, Watson and Crick shared an attraction to DNA, and when they wound up in the same University of Cambridge lab, they bonded.
(From TIME 100: Scientists and Thinkers)

They faced the question of byline: Watson and Crick, or Crick and Watson? They flipped a coin.
(From TIME 100: Scientists and Thinkers)
